2008-01-22 KDE 4 enters Gentoo
Gentoo's KDE team added the K Desktop
Environment's 4.0 release to the tree January 17, marking a new generation
of KDE. The genkdesvn
overlay made this fast addition to the tree possible. It contained
ebuilds for KDE 4 since very early in KDE development by allowing outside
contributions in an environment unconcerned with stability. In addition to
the ebuilds, the overlay resulted in two new developers, Ingmar Vanhassel and Bo Ørsted
Andresen.
Many features from KDE 3.5 remain unimplemented in KDE 4, so it cannot yet
offer a true upgrade path. Since the software was also just released, it's
hard-masked. To try KDE 4, please read the guide.
