Okay,  

   I want some input on this from the Gentoo Crowd (Thats you folks ;)

  Since we are rapidly heading for a Gnome2 release, I've been in touch
with the Gnome2 release team, and hearing their opinion on how we should
manage release for public avaiability.

   They would really like some extra input from us, since we have quite
a wide variety of systems, compilers and we have for some reason gained
a reputation for being "generally more savvy and daring than the other
distros" 

Now, we are looking at a -rc release, and its high time to start
pounding at  http://bugzilla.gnome.org

So, we are looking to be the firs distribution with official Gnome2
support, and if possible we'd like to have even more input from dev's on
bugzilla, from opinions and ideas to things that are plain wrong.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Gnome2 release schelude:

[José Fonseca]

I'm eager to start playing with gcc-3.1 and Gnome2. I'm not afraid of 
screwing up things because I believe that's necessary in order to progress 
(that's one of the things that made try and love Gentoo). Unfortunately 
I've a deadline for a paper submission which is closing in the next few 
days, so I've been restraining myself from messing so deeply with my 
system as I can't afford have it down until then.

But when I do, what's the best way to upgrade my gcc-2.95.3+gnome-1.4 
system to gcc-3.1+gnome-2.0 ? I know that gnome-2.0 works well 
side-by-side with a gnome 1.4 system, but regarding gcc-3.1 I've seen here 
that it's better to start from scratch. Is it so?

I really didn't want to mess up with partitions again, so is there a way 
to reinstall gentoo (or simply recompile all packages with new settings) 
in order to achieve the same effect?

Thanks,

José Fonseca

emerge -e world 
will do a recompile of everything from scratch. 

we are closing in on a few nastygrams from ncurses now. (gcc 3.1 )

For reasons similar to the original poster I have refrained
from experimenting too much, so I have stayed with gcc 2.95.  Are
you saying that (plus minus a few bugs to be ironed out) one
will eventually be able to switch to the gcc3 profile , emerge -e world,
"sit back and relax".  That sounds really cool!

Its untested to change profiles, since that changes a lot of defalt
software, but that's what I've been doing when doing some minor
tweaks to my settings to make sure everything is compiled and setup ok.

I also need to express my eagerness to play a little with gcc3.1+Gnome2
:-)

Will there be a specific profile for it, or will the default-1.0-gcc3 be
updated?
