+<title>New GNOME meta ebuilds</title> |
| 74 |
+<body> |

| 76 |
+<p> |
| 77 |
+With GNOME 3, the meta ebuilds have been split into many ebuilds, and now have |
| 78 |
+various USE-flags to control features. There are three main meta ebuilds: |
| 79 |
+<c>gnome-base/gnome</c>, <c>gnome-base/gnome-fallback</c>, and |
| 80 |
+<c>gnome-base/gnome-light</c>. There are other meta ebuilds pulled in by these, |
| 81 |
+but users should generally not use them directly. |
| 82 |
+</p> |
| 83 |
+ |
| 84 |
+<p> |
| 85 |
+<c>gnome-base/gnome</c> is the recommended way to install GNOME 3. See |
| 86 |
+the package metadata.xml for descriptions of the available USE-flags. |
| 87 |
+</p> |
| 88 |
+ |
| 89 |
+<p> |
| 90 |
+<c>gnome-base/gnome-fallback</c> is the ebuild that installs only the fallback |
| 91 |
+mode. This ebuild should be used by people who know that their hardware cannot |
| 92 |
+run GNOME Shell, and do not want to install it. |
| 93 |
+</p> |
| 94 |
+ |
| 95 |
+<p> |
| 96 |
+<c>gnome-base/gnome-light</c> is the ebuild that installs the bare minimum |
| 97 |
+libraries and applications required to run GNOME 3. You can toggle USE-flags to |
| 98 |
+choose whether to install GNOME Shell, GNOME Fallback, or both. This is |
| 99 |
+<b>not</b> the recommended way to install GNOME 3, and is merely provided for |
| 100 |
+the convenience of users. |
