Description Maciek Józiewicz 2012-04-25 10:25:48 UTC

I do intend to move to gnome3 any time soon and wanted to stick to a slot, but gnome 3 ebuild got thrown into the 2.0 slot:

# eix gnome-light
* gnome-base/gnome-light
     Available versions:  (2.0) 2.32.1 2.32.1-r1 2.32.1-r2 ~3.2.1
	{+automount cups +fallback +gnome-shell}
     Homepage:            http://www.gnome.org/
     Description:         Meta package for GNOME-Light, merge this package to install

# eix -e gnome
* gnome-base/gnome
     Available versions:  (2.0) 2.32.1-r1 2.32.1-r2 ~3.2.1
	{accessibility (+)cdr cups dvdr +extras +fallback ldap mono policykit}
     Homepage:            http://www.gnome.org/
     Description:         Meta package for GNOME 3, merge this package to install



Reproducible: Always

And your point is? GNOME2 and GNOME3 are not parallel installable. The SLOT number is meaningless. And renaming SLOT numbers is *plain unnecessary work*.
