The following missing dependencies occured to me when trying to build Gnome 3 on a relatively pristine system. They lead to build errors in the corresponding ebuilds, e.g., because portage infers the wrong build order: x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-symbokic should have a dependency on gtk+ since the build uses tools from it. gnome-extra/zenity should have a dependency on libnotify gnome-control-center requires media-sound/pulseaudio to be build with the glib use flag. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use a system on which neither gnome nor xorg has ever been installed 2. install the gnome overlay and do the preparation work (keywords, use.mask, etc.) 3. emerge =gnome-base/gnome-light-3.0.0 Actual Results: build fails in the described builds because of missing dependencies Expected Results: gnome-light and its dependencies build
Additionally, gnome-extra/gnome-tweak-tool is requiring dev-python/pygobject to be compiled with the introspection use flag but does not express this. If compiled without, there is no "gi" module and the tool fails to run.
Thanks for testing, I've confirmed all these problems and fixed them in the overlay/tree as applicable. Everything should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting!
