Hi, |

I've recently installed Gentoo on a new system. After installing X I |
| 4 |
decided to install gnome. Whilst compiling the system has been far quicker |
| 5 |
than it was on my old system (hours instead of days...), it's not been |
| 6 |
without problems. Some of these I can understand, others really are quite |
| 7 |
frustrating. |

|

My main gripe is that when attempting to install gnome, as well as having |
| 10 |
issues with some dependencies not being met because of packages being |
| 11 |
masked (this I can understand and doesn't bother me too much), I had to |
| 12 |
fix 3 ebuilds. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
One of the ebuilds in question had a misspelt library in it's DEPENDs, and |
| 15 |
the other two had syntax errors - one was missing a closing brace, and the |
| 16 |
other had some random characers appended to the end of the file. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
All of the ebuilds in question were unmasked and masked stable, which is |
| 19 |
why I was quite surprised to find problems with them. Could there be some |
| 20 |
sort of QA procedure applied to ebuilds as they are commited to CVS? |

Cheers, |
