Thanks for 10.2 x86

My question: is it possible to install KDE 4.4.0?

ManfredB

You can unmask KDE 4.4, and install the update, you may have to remove the cld-meta.

You can change the profile calculate/desktop/CLD/x86/developer (see the output of `eselect profile list`).

eix-sync
eselect profile set 2
emerge -upD world
