They're already in portage, but they're masked.

Yeah i saw that on www.gentoo-portage.com. In the comments section it
said to wait till an ebuild was ready. Anyone used the masked ebuild
gor Gnome 2.8? And if so,. how does it work?

I'm planning on installing GEntoo this weekend and it would be great to
have Gnome 2.8.

Probably better to have a working system first. Gnome 2.6.2 is good to
go at the moment. Its easier to fight build issues from a stable
platform.

See also a message I wrote last week about Gnome and its downstream
realization in distros:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/99345

That all said, if you want to contribute your new system as a testbed
for shaking the glitches out of the masked 2.8 ebuilds, by all means!

I've been using the gnome 2.8 ebuilds for a couple days now. No
problems yet, YMMV. Also, I had been using the masked evolution beta
stuff for a while before that, with great success.

are you aslo using hal? There are some issues (cough cough) with that
and the bootup process, hopefully to be patched out in a short while
(for the latest release of the cd-burner it no longer kills cd's , yey)

I am, but I only recently enabled it to start at boot, so I haven't
rebooted with hal set to startup. Bug reference?

Go to this url: http://www.gnomejournal.org/gnome28_review.php and
read the section: "Improved hardware integration with GNOME Volume
Manager, HAL and Dbus"

none logged in Gentoo as of the moment, since the problem is an
upstream one (oh, hal didn't know what to do with /dev/vc* fex ;) ,
along with the auto-mount-everything, our (Gentoo) bad FHS following
(hi /media ;) together with dbus being poorly tested.

From there to here: http://www.gnomejournal.org/images/gconf-editor.png
and gconf-editor gets a search function. Its assimilation by regedit is
almost complete!

I thought gnome was more for the hardcore cl, anti-M$ crowd, or at
least the devs were more that way inclined... so I can never figure
out evolution and some other M$ approximations... I must confess
ignorance generally about gnome, having only ever used it for about a
month a year or so ago...
