well it's explained at every release when someone post the same request for a new package the DAY it was released, but here we go:
In no way a release means the software is any stable. It means just that the devs released it. period.
Then ebuild needs to be written, which mean check the dependencies, test that at least it's basically emerging. And during all that time, there is usually a bug track on the new ebuild. All that to say that between the release of gnome-2.28 and the gentoo release of it, there is the all testing of how gnome-2.28 will fit into the Gentoo distribution. fyi, it's the same for all distributions.
During all that time, you are free to install gnome-2.28 yourself based on what gnome devs released. If you are familiar with overlays, you can even start testing very early on with the ebuilds from the gnome overlays for example. But if you want a stable ebuild, you need to wait for the gentoo devs to do that testing for you.

You can try adding the gnome overlay (currently full of 2.27.9x versions) and bumping all those ebuilds to .28.0. I'm trying now (I didn't know 2.28 was already here).
Anyway, it shouldn't be long until they are bumped by the devs. |

I think they need to worry about getting gnome 2.26 stable first  |

| Ok, I've bumped most of the ebuilds to 2.28 and everything seems to work well. It's a boring release, though. Not many changes, and I sill have to get used to the new "iconless" gnome (they removed icons from buttons and turned them of by default in menus). |

I guess alot of devwork is going into gnome3 and gtk3 so this is just backported stuff now

Yeah, but it's quite unusable. Gnome-shell is just 2.27.3, and mutter is 2.27.5, so they have many annoyances. Maybe when they reach 2.27.90 they can replace metacity. |

| Calling it mutter was just silly (googling for it will be a b**ch - considered it's "mother" in german). |

On the day of release gnome-2.28.0 I did exactly that advised Fran

So my results...
Then | Code: | | git clone git://github.com/init6/init_6.git |
is all that which for some reason not in the gnome overlay.
Why in overlay "gnome" all gnome-2.28.0 not exist even under the hard mask me interested too. |

Right now most of the packages in the gnome overlay are 2.28.1. I ony have a few 2.28 packages in my local overlay which aren't in the gnome overlay yet (anjuta, anjuta-extras, gdl, gnome-common, mutter, gnome-shell...). |

Ok, so it appears that Gnome-2.28 is in the tree... As there are some paradigm-changes in preparation for 3.00, I'd like to know whether there are any obvious pitfalls.
Anyone care to relate his transitional woes? 
EDIT: For example, is there a particular reason portage doesn't carry an ebuild for gnome-panel-2.28.0 (yet)?

To put this into perspective, When Ubuntu 9.10 was release, released with gnome-2.28... less then 12h later gnome-2.28 was in the tree for gentoo
How many other distro's have gnome-2.28? I am guessing Arch probably came 1st but the others?

| I see that all (or almost) gnome ebuilds have 2.28 versions in the main tree now. Am I correct in the assumption that If I want to be safe and have my system in a not broken state, I'd better wait for the meta-ebuild (gnome-base/gnome) to arrive (I think that 2.26 was usable at about that time...)? |

I'm running it at home now, having installed it two or three days ago. So far, so good. But I use the gnome-light meta-ebuild, so if I wait until that gets bumped to version 3 will be around the corner. At least that's how it was before.
I did wait until the list got more complete and also took care to update most of the underlying libraries. Apparently bonobo and some other things are still needed by other things, so those haven't been cleaned out yet, even though Gnome-2.28 is supposed to do away with a lot of dependency bloat.

Where did you find a newer version of GLib? 2.26 is the latest stable.
