The kde i18n package is called ... well, I guess you can figure that
out by yourself.

Relax, will you? KDE 3.3.0 just made it into testing portage about a
day ago ... It takes a while for all details to be worked out. For now
you can probably just copy the old kde-i18n ebuild to the new version
number, and I think it will work for most languages. If you get it to
work reliably, report success to Bugzilla bug #61010, or something
similar. If you use ~ARCH packages, expect that you have to do a little
work yourself.

i figure i expressed myself wrong again - or is it you this time unable to
read?

that i already downloaded it from the kde site.

The Gentoo crew doesn't deal in hints. If you have it running better
than they do, they will be interested in how you did that. If not,
then not.

So? Every 3-year old can download something from a website. That
doesn't mean you installed it using a proper ebuild, and that it
worked like a charm, does it?

No we're not. We want usable details, not vague hints. Please note
that you still didn't tell us if you got it working or not - you just
say you compiled it.

From the text of your previous posting I presumed you wanted to know
the name of the internalisation package. It's name is "kde-i18n".

Now it seems you want to know if the package is yet available for KDE
3.3.0 (which is still "testing"). I guess you can figure that
out by yourself and the reason for that.

Guess what? My post was a hint to *you* that you should try updating
the ebuild and report success to the Gentoo devs at bugs.gentoo.org.
I'm pretty sure they *know* that the files are available from the KDE
site, but someone reporting that a version bump of the same ebuild works
is far more valuable. If you're really ambitious, you could check the
mirror site for new translations that need to be added to the ebuild.
Reporting things like that is how many of us pay for Gentoo. That and
acting as support people. Don't you want to make yourself valuable to
Gentoo? :-)
