17 Actually, believe it or not, it is. The "right" way to install all of the
18 basic GNOME stuff is to merge gnome-base/gnome-1.2.4-r1.ebuild first, then all
19 of its dependencies.
20
21 For kde, merge kde-base/kde-2.0.1, and then all its runtime dependencies. Soon,
22 we'll have recursive builds and packages working, and these kinds of things will
23 resolve themselves.
