Well, it's not official. Foser probably won't put an ebuild into portage until 2.2 final, but he usually releases the ebuilds on the forums within a few days...

have patience, also, there's another thread about this

Thanks for the link crevette, compiling right now :)

Are you comparing to RC1 or other? Cause from where I'm sitting (RC1 installed) it would be fairly amazing if they've managed to make it even smoother.

There are 2 gnome 2.2 topics, so if a moderator could move either to "duplicates" for sanity sake it'd be nice, so only one are used for "My Gnome 2.2 experiences/hopla" stuff.

gnome-theme-manager doesn't work anymore for me after the upgrade to rc2 (from rc1), anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Hi all,

I just installed the gnome 2.2 ebuilds from spider.

This is probably a simple answer, but how do I prevent "emerge sync; emerge --update --deep world" from wanting to downgrade gnome 2.2 to gnome 2.0?

Also, gnome-terminal compiled fine, but won't run - anyone experience this?

So i download the file from spider's site, i have bunziped it and untared it to /usr/local/portage, so that i see several directories:
app-arch dev-libs gnome-extra media-libs x11-terms x11-wm app-editors gnome-base media-gfx net-libs x11-libs x11-themes
and some readmes

I have edited my /etc/make.conf so that my
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" is uncommented, and that my PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage is uncommented.

Yet emerge -u gnome still shows that old gnome.
What am I doing wrong?

farther on in your make.conf should be portage overlay uncomment that.

Has anyone else run into this building control-center?

Anyone think that only updating Metacity and using it with RC1 will work? Or will it not even compile?
