Back trying to update my gentoo laptop after a year. How can I get 2.30?

Enable the gnome overlay through layman;

Moved from Desktop Environments to Unsupported Software, software from overlays are not officially supported.

presently there is no gnome-2.30.ebuild (meta-ebuild) at all. There are the individual components that make up gnome 2.30 (like gnome-terminal-2.30, etc) that are in the gnome overlay.

thats the best you can get right now. gnome still identifies itself at runtime as 2.30 but its still the 2.28-meta ebuild.

as a result some 2.30 features aren't pulled in automatically, and you'd need to emerge them yourself. gnome-shell for example.
