KDE 4.6.2 news & upgrade guide

Just to give everyone a quick heads up, the stable request for KDE SC 4.6.2 plus KDEPIM 4.4.11.1 is likely going to be filed soon. On the whole, the upgrade should go very smooth. In case there are problems, we now have a Gentoo KDE 4.4 - 4.6 Upgrade Guide, covering the most frequent issues. In addition, it probably never hurts to look at the general Gentoo KDE Guide.
If you want to test before the actual stabilization takes place, just grab the keyword file... Cheers!

    Section 3 of the upgrade guide tells me to unmerge policykit which has just been added to the useflags. I suppost this is not correct?

    That is actually correct. The new program is called polkit, and old policykit is obsolete. The useflag is still called policykit however... I added a remark in the guide.

    KDE PIM 4.6 will be released with KDE SC 4.6.3.
