Project listing

In addition to its primary goal of support for all packages produced by the KDE Community, the Gentoo KDE Project maintains a variety of other KDE Frameworks-based applications and underlying support packages in order to provide a first-class KDE experience.

Supported areas

Our primary focus is the same as upstream - the latest generation of KDE software:


We have a secondary focus on:

Support and assistance

There are several ways to get support with KDE related issues:

  • To install KDE Plasma and KDE Gear on Gentoo, use the KDE Guide.
  • You can join #gentoo-kde (webchat) on the Libera.Chat IRC network. You'll find some of the team members there most of the time.
  • You can address your concerns in the Gentoo Forums. Not all of us are avid forums users but many experienced users and some developers are likely to be able to help you.
  • The gentoo-desktop and gentoo-user mailing lists can be used to discuss problems and announce various things (like meetings or important changes). It's necessary to subscribe before posting.
  • Of course, you can also file a bug report. Please read How to report bugs before.

Contributing

There's lots of ways to contribute to KDE on Gentoo, even if you are new or not familiar with ebuilds.

Supporting the community

You can help answer questions and participate in discussions over various mediums:

Improving documentation

You are welcome to add and edit wiki articles - be bold:

Reporting bugs

Bugs can usually be classified as either an upstream or a downstream bug.

Issues such as build failure, missing dependencies, or features not working in Gentoo (but work in other distros) are usually downstream bugs and should be reported on Gentoo's bugzilla.

Runtime issues such as crashes or incorrect package behaviour are usually upstream bugs and should be reported on the KDE Bugtracking System. If there is a fix available that needs backporting or some other reason we need to track the bug, feel free to file a Gentoo bug about the issue too.

If in doubt, please file a Gentoo bug and we can advise you how to proceed.

In either case, please check troubleshooting, search for existing reports, and try with the latest package version before reporting.

Resolving bugs

You can help to review and resolve existing bugs:

  • Try to reproduce the issue and report your findings
  • Check to see if others are having the same problem - often further information or solutions can be found on the forums, other distributions' bugtrackers, Google...

Finally, it would be great to chat to you on IRC, too - this is how we normally get to know each other. Please drop into #gentoo-kde (webchat) and chat with us. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to /query individual team members or ask in #gentoo-kde (webchat), #gentoo-desktop (webchat) or #gentoo (webchat).

Development information

We provide a number of documents to support working with KDE-related ebuilds and eclasses in Gentoo:
