Re: [gentoo-dev] [Fwd: GNOME Desktop 2.4 Release Candidate 1: "Kublai"]

[Mike Gardiner]

Hi,

The Gentoo GNOME Team is currently in the process of building and
testing a series of 2.4 ebuilds that will eventually reside in the tree
as Gentoo GNOME 2.4. We are also all subscribed to the
gnome-announce-list and get these updates regularly.

Please be patient, we're aiming for the 2.4 official release (foser?),
before 2.4 is available through portage.

Thanks,
Mike
