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?!
