skunk Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 hello again, i've the following set into my ego.conf: xorg-kit = 1.19-prime media-kit = 1.1-prime kde-kit = master however on today sync i've got this message: "Kit kde-kit branch master specified in ego.conf is not currently active; using default kit instead." so why can i not choose kde-kit's master branch anymore in ego.conf? i've forced the master branch checkout by adding: @git -C /home/meta-repo/kits/kde-kit checkout origin/master || true into eix-sync.conf, however i wonder why these kind of hacks are necessary... thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted October 23, 2017 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 The reason is because we stopped updating master for kde-kit, and ego knows that it's not going to get any updates. We may add it back in the future after a server upgrade, but I needed to cut back on the time required to generate all the kits for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 skunk Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 ok, i can live with it for some time, however why forcing everybody on 5.10-prime branch if they where on master if neither branch won't get updates anymore? downgrading from master to 5.10-prime isn't something worth doing if you already are on plasma-5.11.1/apps-17.08.2/framework-5.39, imho...

0 abserraoui Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 So you done the same thing to 'gnome.kit', and now all users with a desktop like gnome, cinnamon, kde, must downgrade & recompile the entier desktop/apps, or stop updating their systems. you could just freeze the master branch.

0 abserraoui Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 @skunk I think a local overlay is the right way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
