most of the stuff gets announced https://forums.funtoo.org/forum/5-news-and-announcements/ available are always only the branches that are part of the release. 1.3-release is now release as beta quality. so test it out and report any bugs that you encounter. some of the branches get named after the release some are named after the version of the software they are incorporating like kde-5.12 gnome-3.26 perl-5.26 python-3.7 ... and others just have many different software and are simply named 1.3-release. there is no other description visible using currently available funtoo tools. stability can be found here: https://github.com/funtoo/kit-fixups/blob/master/modules/fixups/foundations.py#L5-L12 class KitStabilityRating(Enum): PRIME = 0 # Kit is enterprise-quality NEAR_PRIME = 1 # Kit is approaching enterprise-quality BETA = 2 # Kit is in beta ALPHA = 3 # Kit is in alpha DEV = 4 # Kit is newly created and in active development CURRENT = 10 # Kit follows Gentoo currrent DEPRECATED = 11 # Kit is deprecated/retired switching to kde-kit from 1.3-release while still on 1.2-release will fail when doing ego sync, but can be done manually (although not recommended and definitely not supported). You could manually switch to kde-kit from 1.3-release by checking out the appropriate sha hash of the commit as listed here: https://github.com/funtoo/meta-repo/blob/1.3-release/metadata/kit-sha1.json but this has to be done after every ego sync.

thank you for your positive and friendly answers. I explained to you that 1.3-release branches will show up once you switch to 1.3-release, 5.12-prime is there from 1.2-release and master branch is a remnant of 1.0-release (at that time called 1.0-prime) here are the definitions that are used for kit generation, maybe that will answer your question https://github.com/funtoo/kit-fixups/blob/master/modules/fixups/foundations.py there is not a simple way of switching to a different branch of a kit (1.3-release for kde-kit) without actually switching the whole release = all kits to the 1.3-release. from the user perspective you should edit /etc/ego.conf and add in [global] section release = 1.2 (1.3) and perform ego sync ego will then switch the kit branches for you. There is a reason you cannot see all branches of a kit on a single release as these are untested and will probably not work. if there are multiple branches supported they are listed in ego kit list output and they can be switched using /etc/ego.conf with a value for example xorg-kit=1.20-release inside [kits] section. if you want to go your own way (switching a single kit to a different branch that is not supported for a given release) - you will probably not receive any official help from funtoo. (and definitely not from me 🙂 )

so you looked at github and explored git locally - no sign of ego kit list here. You wonder if there is a way to do it with ego or any funtoo specific command -> ego kit list 1.3-release will show once you switch to 1.3-release in ego.conf [global] release = 1.3 the stability tag: current - tracking gentoo prime - somehow seen as good for production anything else - alpha, beta, dev => not good for production if you are not a developer

try to find a log file inside VM dir somewhere, without it it is reading from a crystal ball.

good plan. let us know what you find out.
