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?!



Tamer
