It will initially be in the overlay. In the past, we've put the masked |
| 16 |
beta into portage, but with the official overlay, I'd advocate leaving |
| 17 |
it there until the final release is available. However, even money |
| 18 |
it'll make it into portage masked. |

There will be a gnome meta-ebuild when someone gets around to making |
| 21 |
it... You might want to roll your own, because it likely won't happen |
| 22 |
until someone needs to do a clean install, which will probably be post |
| 23 |
2.16 release. In practice, the current meta should work fine for a |
| 24 |
clean install, since the newest versions will be pulled in. That said, |
| 25 |
if you do make one, feel free to send it my way, and I'll commit it to |
| 26 |
the overlay. |
