News:Testing GNOME 3.14

Preparing

   Warning

These instructions assume that your /etc/portage/package.{unmask,use} locations are directories.

First, sync the tree if you haven't recently as you need access to a file in the tree:

root ##r###  emerge --sync

Now, create a symlink to the GNOME 3.14 mask file, reversijng it in the process:

root ##r###  cd /etc/portage/package.unmask
root ##r###  ln -s /var/portage/tree/funtoo/profiles/package.mask/funtoo-gnome .

Then to simplify matters, enable the gnome mix-in:

root ##r###  eselect profile list
root ##g##Currently available mix-ins profiles:  
  [11]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/audio  
  [12]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/console-extras  
  [13]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd

  [27]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/hardened

root ##r###  eselect profile add 14

Finally, add the relevant section to your /etc/portage/package.use/funtoo-gnome file:

gnome-light (without mix-in)

gnome-extra/evolution-data-server gtk
x11-libs/libxcb xkb
media-libs/cogl gles2
