These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

jonathonp,

What profile do you have set?

What does
Code:
emerge --info show


You are heading for a world of pain by settings all your USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use/
Think about what each flag does. Something like USE=X will be set in in your profile if you have selected a profile that is appropriate for your intended install use case.
If you intend to install a GUI, (like mate) you probably want optional X support everywhere, so it should be set globally.
That's either by your profile or in make.conf.

Code:
=x11-libs/cairo-9999 **
is a very bad thing. If you know what it does, and are really sure you want a possibly broken cario, that's OK.
Portage suggesting any -9999 versions points to problems elsewhere.

Code:
 * IMPORTANT: 12 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news read to view new items.
That means what it says.
If you follow the -dev mailing lish and have seen news items being discussed, you have already read the news, or maybe you have read the news on another install?

The profile i chose was the default:
eselect profile list
[12] default/linux/amd64/17.0 (stable) *


Should i choose the desktop profile like:

[16] default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop (stable)

Does a mate install use openrc by default? I would prefer to use the gentoo default.

Can i simply choose another profile and run

emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse @world

and all will be well when i try to install mate?

jonathonp,

With
Code:
 [12] default/linux/amd64/17.0 (stable)
set run
Code:
emerge --info
and look at what is in USE.
Not a lot, its more suited to a server.

With
Code:
[16] default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop
selected, look at USE again. Its grown quite a bit.
Lastly run
Code:
emerge -pve @world
and look at all the USE flags in green, with an * next to them.
That's the effect on your install. There will be some new packages too.

All the desktops in Gentoo, except Gnome 3 use OpenRC by default, unless you start with a systemd stage3.

Doing what you suggest will help. I don't promise all will be well. :)
I'm a mate user and it works for me.

If you are going to change profiles, hide the per package settings in /etc/portage by moving them say to /root/.
If you need some per package settings, add them back as needed but duplicate settings and conflicting settings will only store up trouble for later.

Hi neddy, i did a fresh install using the desktop profile.

i added these to nano /etc/portage/package.use/mate-build

Code:
>=media-libs/harfbuzz-1.7.2 icu
# required by x11-misc/mozo-1.12.0-r1::gentoo[-gtk3]
# required by mate-base/mate-1.12-r1::gentoo[base]
# required by mate-base/mate (argument)
>=mate-base/mate-menus-1.12.0-r1 python
# required by gnome-base/gnome-keyring-3.20.1::gentoo
# required by mate-extra/mate-screensaver-1.12.0-r1::gentoo[pam]
# required by mate-base/mate-1.12-r1::gentoo[extras]
# required by mate-base/mate (argument)
>=app-crypt/pinentry-1.0.0-r2 gnome-keyring

mate-base/mate will merge without any issues however i noticed bluetooth and gtk3 are not included in mate-base/mate-1.12-r1.

Code:
[ebuild  N     ] mate-base/mate-1.12-r1  USE="base extras help notification themes (-bluetooth) -gtk3"


If i do
(chroot) livecd /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia #
Code:
equery y mate

Code:
Keywords for mate-base/mate:
        |                             |   u   |
        | a a         p   a         s |   n   |
        | l m   h i   p   r m m s   p | e u s | r
        | p d a p a p c x m 6 i 3   a | a s l | e
        | h 6 r p 6 p 6 8 6 8 p 9 s r | p e o | p
        | a 4 m a 4 c 4 6 4 k s 0 h c | i d t | o
--------+-----------------------------+-------+-------
1.12-r1 | o + ~ o o o o + o o o o o o | 6 o 0 | gentoo
1.14    | o ~ ~ o o o o ~ o o o o o o | 6 #   | gentoo
1.16    | o ~ ~ o o o o ~ o o o o o o | 6 #   | gentoo
1.18    | o ~ ~ o o o o ~ ~ o o o o o | 6 o   | gentoo

How do i install version 1.18?

mate 1.18 is available in portage as ~amd64.

Code:
mate-base/* ~amd64
mate-extra/* ~amd64
app-arch/engrampa ~amd64
app-editors/pluma ~amd64
app-text/atril ~amd64
dev-libs/libmateweather ~amd64
media-gfx/eom ~amd64
media-libs/libmatemixer ~amd64
x11-misc/mozo ~amd64
x11-misc/mate-notification-daemon ~amd64
x11-terms/mate-terminal ~amd64
x11-themes/mate-backgrounds ~amd64
x11-themes/mate-icon-theme ~amd64
x11-themes/mate-themes ~amd64
x11-themes/mate-themes-meta ~amd64
x11-wm/marco ~amd64


From the looks of it, I think I only need two use flag changes with amd64/17.0/desktop... (the same ones you mentioned before edit: don't remember if I needed to change harfbuzz for mate)

Code:
app-crypt/pinentry gnome-keyring
mate-base/mate-menus python


bluetooth is up to you, I don't find it adds anything to mate since you still need bluez and/or blueman.

I have an overlay with 1.20 as well, see signature.

jonathonp,

I would put icu into USE in make.conf, since other things are likely to need it.
Likewise gnome-keyring as its generally useful.

If you only install one package that accepts these USE flags, it makes no difference.
You could end up adding all these things to package.use/

Code:
$ equery h icu
 * Searching for USE flag icu ...
[IP-] [  ] dev-db/sqlite-3.22.0:3
[IP-] [  ] dev-libs/boost-1.65.0:0/1.65.0
[IP-] [  ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.7:2
[IP-] [  ] dev-libs/re2-0.2017.03.01:0/gentoo-2017-03-01
[IP-] [  ] dev-libs/xerces-c-3.1.4-r1:0
[IP-] [  ] dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.7-r4:4
[IP-] [  ] dev-qt/qtcore-5.9.4-r2:5/5.9
[IP-] [  ] media-libs/harfbuzz-1.7.6:0/0.9.18
[IP-] [  ] net-libs/nodejs-9.9.0:0

$ equery h gnome-keyring
 * Searching for USE flag gnome-keyring ...
[IP-] [  ] app-crypt/pinentry-1.0.0-r3:0
[I-O] [  ] app-emulation/virt-manager-1.5.0:0
[I-O] [  ] app-text/atril-1.20.0:0
[IP-] [  ] dev-vcs/git-2.16.3:0
[I-O] [  ] gnome-base/gvfs-1.32.1-r100:0
[IP-] [  ] mail-client/balsa-2.5.3-r1:0
[I-O] [  ] mate-base/mate-session-manager-1.20.0:0
[IP-] [  ] media-video/vlc-3.0.1-r1:0/5-9
[IP-] [  ] sys-auth/pambase-20150213-r1:0
[I--] [??] www-client/chromium-65.0.3325.106:0

Its your install your way. Both ways are correct.

Jeez, can't believe that Mate 1.12 is still stable, even 1.16 would be old at this point :?

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:MATE is a little understaffed at the moment. I would contribute, but the developer and ebuild exams are a nightmare, plus I'm not exactly liked by a few developers so I'm not sure how welcome I would be if I tried. I can't even get voice in #gentoo (edit: or rather, I was muted and the dev responsible refuses to unmute me).

kajzer,

I run at least mate-1.18 everywhere.
Even on 64 bit Raspberry Pi.

added

Code:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"


Also added:

Code:

I followed your advice neddy regarding global USE flags. Also thanks bunder for your help. Looks like it will build. Will try it out tomorrow. Thanks.

jonathonp,

Code:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"
makes your entire system testing but better that than trying to mix a few testing packages into stable and all the problems that go with it.

Stable is, well, stable. Testing can be a bit broken from time to time but it cam be managed with care.

1) Don't update your system on Sunday night if you need it to work on Monday morning. It might not.
2) Make yourself a 'get out of jail free' card.
Set FEATURES="buildpkg" is make.conf. This will save a binary of every package you build.
When (not if) you update something and the run time is broken, the downgrade is only an emerge -K away.

For example, my system took 8 hours to build OpenOffice as it was then. When I ran it, all the icons were black.
The emerge -K downgrade only took 10 minutes.

The binaries are like distfiles, never purged automatically.

You don't need staff for this, as far as I know it just takes a post saying "Please stabilize x.xx" version, or something like that.

I run at least mate-1.18 everywhere.
Even on 64 bit Raspberry Pi.


I would run that too, but there are users who rarely "unstable" something on their own, thinking "well if gentoo thinks 1.12 is stable and other versions are unstable, let's use 1.12, no problem"
It just seems that lately there's more and more posts regarding some Mate emerge problems and they are all related to 1.12 if I remember right.

I meant post from the dev :lol:

I had some interaction with NP-Hardass couple of years back, he's a great dev but he's bad with social skills, also that nickname is justified I guess.
Anyway, I guess he knows the reason/s why the stable version is still stuck at 1.12, but I don't think you can change his opinion, whatever those reasons are.

Don't get me wrong, it sucks, but it is what it is. :lol:

We can file all the bug reports we want but we're not the ones with svn/git access to publish new ebuilds, and people can't be around 24/7. I got the packages in my overlay working, so that's good enough for me until the devs can catch up. If you really want to give 1.20 a try, I would highly recommend it.

That said, I have been rather tempted to switch my systems to full ~amd64 lately.

Sure no worries, I'm sleeping all day and you've already been quite helpful. :D

bunder,

The update works on ~arm64.
The Pi still won't play The Good, The Bad and the Ugly from my media server smoothly though.

I'll test on ~amd64 tomorrow, it built OK but I'll lose all my ssh connections if I test now.

How do i go about installing mate 1.20? I want to try it out using virt-manager on my fedora box.I have gentoo mate 1.18 up and running on the family pc. Fedora 27 updated to mate 1.20 today which has HiDPI (Retina Display) support. I installed it on an asus zenbook and it looks awesome. Previously i had plasma installed. The mate team have done and amazing job for this release.

jonathonp,

First you need layman to manage your overlays.

Once layman is installed, you need a /etc/layman/overlays/overlays.xml file that contains
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE repositories SYSTEM "/dtd/repositories.dtd">
<repositories xmlns="" version="1.0">
   <repo quality="experimental" status="unofficial">
      <name>bunder</name>
        <description>experimental Mate ebuilds</description>
        <homepage>git://github.com/bunder2015/;a=summary</homepage>
        <owner type="project">
           <email>bunder@gentoo.org</email>
           <name>bunder</name>
        </owner>
        <source type="git">https://github.com/bunder2015/overlay</source>
   </repo>
</repositories>
/etc/layman/overlays/overlays.xml
to describe bunders overlay to layman.
As its not an official overlay, its not included in the standard list.

Now you can use layman to add the overlay. Once you have done that, portage should use it normally.

Code:
# emerge mate -pv

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] mate-base/mate-1.20::bunder  USE="base extras notification themes (-bluetooth) (-help)" 0 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
That's from an arm64 system.
Notice the repo name is ::bunder, not ::gentoo.
