open /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

find "gnome-2 big mask blog"

remove all lines following that (or comment them out)

it should be some 60-70 packages....

emerge gnome

now test :)

things that need to be tested right now:

unmask gnome2:
find all gnome1 packages that break because they depend on the wrong
versions of things.

emerge rsync ( to get updated )
edit your /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

find the lines below: 
# spider@gentoo.org ; 21 May 2002;
# =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* doesn't work
# this is now the gnome2 big bloated mask!
# (gnome-2 that is ;)

comment every line from here
to :

# mkennedy@gentoo.org 14 Apr 2002
# Beta, so masked for now. See also bug 1662.


In my package.mask it is from line 621  to line 705

Now you can finally emerge gnome to install gnome2.
Every build problem/error should be filed at bugs.gentoo.org

Hope this helps.

What's the best way help test gnome2? or which packages need unmasking?
