Author: Dan Armak <danarmak@gentoo.org>. -$Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/kde-apps/README,v 1.1 2001/08/18 20:23:26 danarmak Exp $ - -Summary -------- -All packages in kde-apps have been moved to other categories. -Parts of the base KDE distribution (i.e. kdebase, kdenetwork, ...) -have been moved to kde-base. -All other packages have ben moved to the proper categories: app-*, -media-*, net-*, dev-*. From now on, KDE applications will be categorized -just like other apps. -The old locations have been masked. If you still have packages under -/usr/portage/kde-apps/, please run 'emerge --clean rsync' to get rid of them. -A similar move of Gnome apps will follow shortly. - -Reasons -------- -Packages are now much easier to find and categorize. Someone who wants -e.g. a list of cdr apps can now simply go to app-cdr and does not have to -check in kde-apps and gnome-apps. This is much simpler, cleaner and more -logical. -In addition, with the introduction of KDE2.2, the door has been opened for -the creation of ebuilds for a great amount of kde applications. There are -currently over 1,000 KDE applications registered on apps.kde.com. To have -such an amount of packages in one category would have been impossible. - -Side effects ------------- -If KDE was installed before the move, i.e. from the old location, then -merging any KDE app will cause kde-libs, and possibly several other base -KDE packages, to be recompiled and remerged (just once). -Apps already installed will continue to work. Also, because of Portage's -config dir protection feature, the remerge will not affect any system -settings. It will just take some time; an unavoidable consequence. Sorry -for any inconvinience. - -BTW, whoever has heard about movepackage.sh, the package relocation script, -or the new Portage Job System in this connection shoud know that the former -has been cancelled and the latter put off. - - -Dan Armak -18/8/2001 |
