Bug 388295 – gnome-base/gnome{-light,}-3.2: version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andy Pettinger 2011-10-24 05:17:41 UTC]

Meta packages for the GNOME desktop 3.0 would be very useful for fresh installs

[Comment 1 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2011-10-24 06:15:36 UTC]

gnome-3.2 meta packages, along with the rest of gnome-3.2, are currently available in the gnome overlay. They will be moved to portage after the rest of gnome-3.2, which will hopefully happen within the next two weeks or so.

gnome-3.0 will be punted from portage and replaced with 3.2; supporting 3.0 and 3.2 at the same time is difficult due to a number of annoying incompatibilities.

Thx Alexandre  

Excellent news ,I was unaware gnome 3.2 was going to be moved this rapidly into portage and replace version 3.0.

gnome-3.2.1 and gnome-light-3.2.1 meta packages are now in portage, package.masked initially.
