Hi people!
I want to upgrade gnome 2.32 to gnome 3.

First question, is it now officially supported by the gentoo team or
should I keep my fingers away of it?!

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-3.2-upgrade.xml

doesn't tell me a lot how to accomplish this task. Is there any official
documentation telling me how to doit, unmasking, flags etc....


for any advise I would thank you.

What sort of information are you looking for?

gnome-3 is marked unstable, so if you run ~x86 or ~amd64 just

emerge -av gnome

and deal with any breakage. This is generally how gentoo works for
everything. What were you expecting in terms of documentation ?

As long as the package managers are installed through ebuilds, they
should observe each other's pkg_pretend()

That I suspected, that's why I asked about feasibility.
"grep 1 $(portageq vdb_path)/*/*/EAPI && die" might work for portage and
its current VDB layout.
One problem that remains with this approach is what happens if an EAPI=3D=
1
package is in the list of packages to be merged along with the new
package manager.

Yes, tommy already told me on IRC that there is no incentive for package
managers to drop EAPI support at this time.

I don't think any part of the GNOME 3.x stack is masked anymore, but
it is still unstable. GNOME 3 is completely supported in Gentoo: I'm
running GNOME 3.2, and everything works without a hitch. But, if you
are running stable, and you are not used to fiddle in /etc/portage to
unmask or keyword packages, I would recommend to wait for it to be
stabilized. I don't think it will take that much longer.

Regards.

Hi Alan!
I thought more or less that I have to unmask packages, or making any
configurations to unlock the update to gnome3.

If I run now:

tamer@office ~ $ emerge -pav gnome

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-2.32.1-r1 USE="cdr cups dvdr ldap
policykit -accessibility -mono" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
tamer@office ~ $


I get one package to reinstall.


If I run "layman -a gnome" and re-execute the command:


I got this message:

* If you enabled the GNOME overlay to get GNOME 3.2, please disable
* it now, since GNOME 3.2 is already in portage and unmasked.



How do I install gnome 3.2, that is now in portage?!

It's still ~arch so add "gnome-base/gnome" (or some such) to
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

Being new to ebuilds, forgive me if I'm wrong, but the requirement is
stated in the gnome-3.2.1.ebuild:

>=x11-wm/mutter-${PV}

as also stated in your output above.

You probably have flags for gnome:2.0 all over /etc/portage/package.* also.

Certainly someone more experienced will soon clarify.

Each one you get you will need to add to your package.keywords file.
This is what I would have to do;
echo "x11-wm/mutter" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/gnome3

emerge autounmask and use it to write all the packages you need to your
keywords file. You'll have to read the man page for the syntax, I haven't
used it for quite a while as portage 2.2 has this built in.

To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is
half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

On your system "emerge gnome" wants to install gnome-2

So either your tree is outdated (you must re-sync) or gnome-3 is still
masked. The second option is more likely and there are two
possibilities for that:

You run a stable system (gnome-3 is still unstable), or
you masked it for some reason.

Run this and examine what output you get:

emerge -pv =gnome-3.2.1
