hi people im new in gentoo i moving from archlinux
i know here is a overlay/ebuild for install the pantheon shell in gentoo, but because im so new on gentoo im very confused and the wiki are out of date and its for people with experience with gentoo
wiki link http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Pantheon
github of elementary for gentoo https://github.com/pimvullers/elementary
at this moment i have gentoo installed but without desktop environment, i want to install the pantheon-shell
so anyone have pantheon shell installed and can make a quick guide for noobs
the process its like this:
emerge layman
layman -s
layman -a elementary
but after that im confused about the keywords, mask, unmask, the ~amd64 and also i want to know if need to have installed gnome 3/shell befor install the pantheon shell?
thanks

I know it seems intimidating, but all these files are really quite simple to understand. Also, you must be running amd64 to use Pantheon.
First, run the layman command layman -a elementary as the guide says. I am assuming you understand how to use layman.
/etc/portage/profile/package.accept_keywords is a file used to unmask what are considered unstable packages by the devs. After you run layman -a elementary, you must put all the listed packages in the Pantheon guide in package.accept_keywords with ~amd64 after each atom.
For example, I am running the 3.9.0 kernel so in my package.accept_keywords I have "=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.9.0 ~amd64" without the quotes.
/etc/portage/package.use is a file where you can specify individual USE flags you want (or don't want) a package to have. If you understand USE flags and atoms, this should make sense.
For example, if you wanted wine to be emerged without CUPS support you would add to your package.use file "=app-emulation/wine-1.4.1 -cups" without the quotes.
Knowing this, the rest of the guide should speak for itself.

Based on the conflicting packages and how unstable Pantheon Shell and the packages you need to pull in are, I would give up for now. I don't think it is such a good idea to try any further than you have. It isn't worth compromising your whole system for something that probably isn't even going to work halfway right anyway. |
