 |
|
Hi guys
I'm following the guide here:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml
I want to remove kde-3.5, but I do NOT want to remove amarok-1.4. I know that this means I need to keep the old kdelibs kicking around. Thats fine by me.
When I run this command:
| Code: | | # emerge -C $(qfile -C -q -e /usr/kde/3.5) |
It tries to remove amarok-1.4 and kdelibs:3.5 (as it should do). Is there an easy way for me to remove all of the other packages but not amarok-1.4 (and any other dependencies it has??) |

| You can add the kde-sunset overlay, and install amarok 1.4 from there. That's what I've done, and it's working fine. Amarok will get qt 3 and kdelibs 3.5 from the same overlay, so it should be pretty painless. |

It's not that painless now and it will be even less so,
once in a few weeks qt3 gets masked and removed from the tree. |

So I need to:
1. Run the "remove all kde-3.5"command
2. Install kde-sunset overlay
3.install amarok-1.4 from the overlay
?
Is there a way to permanently "protect" a package? i.e permanently add a --noreplace option? |
