With KDE SC 4.13.0 release the default semantic desktop search engine
|
|
switched from Nepomuk to Baloo.[1] This change was honoured in Gentoo
|
|
by changing the semantic-desktop use flag to cover the new engine and
|
|
moving the old to nepomuk use flag.
|
|
|
|
The underlaying storage backend for Nepomuk aka Virtuoso DB has a lot
|
|
of unsolved upstream issues[2], therefore we will remove it. This means
|
|
packages with build options on the old stack will drop them. Other
|
|
packages which hard requiring it will be removed.
|
|
|
|
If you are still using Nepomuk you can switch to Baloo by globally
|
|
enable semantic-desktop and disabling nepomuk use flag in
|
|
/etc/portage/make.conf or using one of the kde desktop profiles.
