If you want to install gnome-base/gnome-light-2.32.1-r2, as long as it is in the stable arch (it is now), then I think it suffices to add the following to /etc/portage/package.mask :
| Code: |
# Gnome light 2.32
>=app-arch/file-roller-3.2.2
>=app-text/evince-3.4.0
>=gnome-base/gconf-3.2.6
>=gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.2.2-r1
>=gnome-base/gnome-keyring-3.2.2
>=gnome-base/gnome-light-3.2.1
>=gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1
>=gnome-base/gnome-panel-3.2.1
>=gnome-base/gnome-session-3.2.1-r1
>=gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon-3.2.3
>=gnome-base/libgnome-keyring-3.2.2
>=gnome-base/nautilus-3.2.1
>=gnome-extra/yelp-3.2.1
>=gnome-extra/zenity-2.34
>=net-libs/gnutls-3.1.3
>=sys-apps/gnome-disk-utility-3.0.2-r300
>=x11-misc/alacarte-0.13.2-r50
>=x11-terms/gnome-terminal-3.2.1
>=x11-wm/metacity-2.34
# newest gtk+ breaks theming
>=x11-libs/gtk+-3.8
|
When emerging gnome-light you should then get the 2.32 version.
I do not know if the set above is minimal. Of course if you want to emerge gnome-base/gnome instead then you will need more masks, the set above can probably be used as a starting point.
Hope this helps! |

Yes, for example, putting the line
| Code: | >=gnome-base/gnome-light-3.2.1
|
in /etc/portage/package.mask tells emerge not to install a version of gnome-light that is 3.2.1 or higher.
Again, the list above only works if you want to emerge the light version of gnome, gnome-base/gnome-light. If you want to install the full version, gnome-base/gnome, then you will need to mask many more packages. In particular, for example, you will have add a mask for gnome-base/gnome itself:
| Code: | >=gnome-base/gnome-3.6.2
|
and so forth.
Also, at some point in the future gnome 2 will be removed from portage. Then we will have a problem, since then there will be no version of gnome-light that is below 3.2.1 and so emerge will complain that it cannot fulfill our wishes.
You are welcome! |
