 |
|
I saw that kde-4.3.4 is in the portage tree and keyworded...so I thought I would upgrade and see what got fixed. I have a question though....should I also upgrade qt to 4.6? I'm currently emerging the KDE upgrade, but it's against qt 4.5.3-r2.

There's no *real* need, it should be binary compatible even if you upgrade to Qt-4.6 *after* building KDE 4.3.4 against Qt-4.5, but that's just bad practise...
Just to be on safe side, I've emerged Qt-4.6 first, then kdelibs-4.3.4, and then the rest. Everything works, so I must be doing something right 
Besides I think qt-4.6 will be stabled before kde 4.3.4 so that's also the "normal" order you'd get from portage in case of not messing with package.keywords yourself |

Thanks for the info...I wish I had noticed that qt had the upgrade to 4.6 before I upgraded kde-4.3.4 
Needless to say, I'll follow your advice...your's worked without problems after all.
Cheers. |

| I upgraded the qt split packages to 4.6 after I upgraded kde-4.3.4. revdep-rebuild showed no packages needed rebuilding, so I exited out of kde and started it again to pick up the new qt. Works perfectly...didn't have to rebuild anything, including kdelibs. |

Yep, that's what I meant it (Qt) should be binary compatible, nothing in revdep-rebuild. Still some people report that their plasma desktop crash,
so that's what I meant by "safe side"  |

That seems to be due to hal-0.5.14.

I'm running hal-0.5.13-r2 and haven't had a crash yet. I still rebuilt kdelibs, but I've noticed no difference. I'm just cutting edge enough, but didn't overboard |

Could somebody point out what is a difference/incompatibility with new hal? I wander if it's hal or plasma fault.
