[gentoo-user] Guesstimates of KDE4 going stable?

[James]

Hello everyone,

I have some planning to do. I like KDE4, but I will not
upgrade any more systems (from kde 3) nor install any new systems
until KDE4 goes stable. I have 4 already and the issues are
too time consuming for my needs.

Any guesses as to when that will happen (KDE 4 going stable)
with Gentoo ebuilds so I can plan some new
installations for my friends are greatly appreciated.

tia,
James

The stabilization bug was filed earlier today as bug 287697 [1]. This
is an indication that the KDE team feels that KDE 4 is ready to be
stabilized, and is a request for the various arch teams to proceed with
stabilization. In order for the stabilization to continue, however,
there are a few other packages that need to be stabilized first. These
are listed in the bugs listed as blocking bug 287697.

So, to answer your question, "Real Soon Now™." I expect it will be
stabilized on x86 and amd64 fairly quickly, with other arches to follow.
