Hi, I have unmasked all Gnome 2.12 packages including hal and dbus cairo glitz stuff. I have successfully compiled all on my machine. The platform is running stable. I also checked all installed versions with the sources from: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/platform/2.12/2.12.0/sources/ I had to recompile kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves. No problems here. So maybe you would like to put gnome 2.12 to ~amd64 instead of masking it. Happy Gnoming Christian Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: A wonderful working Gnome 2.12 desktop :-) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 Portage 2.0.52-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.13 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0 emu10k1" ARCH="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" BASH_ENV="/etc/spork/is/not/valid/profile.env" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CCACHE_DIR="/var/tmp/.ccache_64" CCACHE_SIZE="2G" CDEFINE_amd64="__x86_64__" CDEFINE_x86="__i386__" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon64 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CFLAGS_x86="-m32 -L/emul/linux/x86/lib -L/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CHOST_amd64="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CHOST_x86="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CLASSPATH="."

Not all of current stable gnome 2.12 is in portage yet. When it is, the the entirety of gnome 2.12 will be unmasked as a whole. In the meantime, it is all ~amd64 already.
done earlier this week
