Title Unmasking of and Upgrade to GNOME 3.2
Author Nirbheek Chauhan <nirbheek@gentoo.org>
Posted 2011-11-26
Revision 1
We are pleased to announce the addition to tree and unmasking of GNOME-3.2.
Users are strongly encouraged to read the GNOME 3.2 Guide. GNOME 3 has
a massively changed interface and requires working 3D drivers for use, however
there is a fallback mode which is very similar to GNOME 2 and does not require
3D acceleration.
Please read the Gnome 3.2 Guide:

I checked if I could update my gnome and it still shows 2.32 as the latest version by either doing emerge -pv gnome and emerge --update gnome. Both commands I still see gnome 2.32. Did I miss something ? |

Gnome 3 is not masked anymore. It is now ~amd64 and ~x86.
If you really must have gnome 3 now, you can add the following lines to your package.keywords (you may need to create the file):
Code: | nano -w /etc/portage/package.keywords
|
add the line
you will probably need to add more of the dependencies to the file as portage tries to install gnome.
If you try this, be warned: mixing stable and unstable is not recommended and can cause unusual (and somewhat unique) problems. _________________ First things first, but not necessarily in that order.
Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box. |
