Gnome 2 out...*drool*

Finally! Can't wait for the ebuild. Check it out here.

Also, does anyone know what the procedure is gonna be for upgrading from 1.4 to 2? What needs to be removed, what stays, will the ebuild do it for me, etc.? I'm lazy

so, i'm new to this gentoo business. how long can we expect to wait for the ebuild?

this is great news. since i found relief with gentoo, i've been using blackbox as my wm and have been really pleased with it. before gentoo, i used gnome with redhat for a long while so i'm looking forward to giving this new release a try.

congratulations to all that worked on the gnome 2.0 project. anything that is a step closer in bringing linux on the desktop for everyone is something that should be applauded.

I think it depends on the maintainer, but they seem to be fast getting them up. This is pretty big though, so it may be more complicated. Anyone else know for sure?

From what I've seen so far, Spider is very quick to get new ebuilds out.

Spider is responsible for gnome, and he is fast so I'm sure you won't have to wait long before gnome2 is unmasked and ready to emerge.

To give you an idea of releases look at:

Gentoo does indeed rock, so do it's maintainers.

i hope it will work, i was trying to emerge the rc2 (i didn't know that v2 final was released, otherwhise i would have waited) and i got problems allover.

missing ebuilds on portage (libart_gpl-2.3.9 for instance) are giving me serious headaches...

i hope spider keeps up his fine work and finishes these ebuilds soon, otherwhise i'm stuck to this laptop for a while...

I'm hoping there will be a way to run 1.4 and 2 on the same machine. I've read some things
about Gnome 2 that suggest I may not like it, though I hope I don't mind the "differences".

Mask gedit and try again to emerge gnome.

while waiting for a response to my question, i did an emerge -u world and a bunch of things started updating, one being portage 2.0.7. before i knew it the update world was downloading and compiling gnome 2 material. funny how things work out. lets hope it gels and i can get it going...

From the announcement, it sounds like you run 1.4 or 2, not both

Well, there were a couple of posts somewhere that made me think I might not like 2. Basically,
"dumbing" down Gnome (my interpretation anyway). I was mainly hoping to be able to switch
back and forth for comparison, and then pick. Oh well.

Wow Gnome 2 is so... unimpressive. I guess I'll move to blackbox until they figure out what there plans are. Right now it feels like they couldn't finish in time so they ripped out 3/4 of the configuration options. Is there any way to revert back to gnome 1.4 easily?

I'm emerging as we speak.... I must be loosing my mind, I hated Gnome 1.4 with the fury of several firce white killer bunnies.. Must be the urge to just see it in action..

Ahwell let see what this baby can do.. oh and Spider, you must have no life what so ever..

(I hope you can take a joke)

/me thinks Spider pulled an all nighter, just so Gentoo could be the first distro with Gnome2..

BonezTheGoon · Posted: Thu Jun 27, 2002 9:33 pm Post subject: Official Word!!!

Here is the official announcement that answers my question, thought this thread was relevent and would appreciate the link. Enjoy and have fun!
