That's not an explanation: it merely restates your assertion. >> Many packages have > 1 stable version available, >> so users might have KDE 3.4.3 (all) & 3.5.1 (parts) by now, >> with the rest of 3.5.1 & then some of 3.5.2 to follow soon. > KDE 3.5.1 is no more in portage, > a part those packages which haven't changed with 3.5.2 > and akregator that seems to have problems with 3.5.2 version at least here. Sorry, your sentence doesn't make sense as English. >> Any stable version of KDE will need kdelibs kdebase , >> but otherwise why can't the packages be made stable >> at least as each big downloadable file becomes ready, if not individually ? > Because they have to be stable at once. Period. > Can't go stable piece by piece. Period. > Can't. Period. Again, you're simply repeating yourself without any attempt to explain. Can anyone else offer an explanation for the claim that all KDE packages (for one version) have to be stabilised together ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
