If you use systemd, you will need to add the systemd overlay. Use this overlay at your own risks, I assume you know what you're doing and how to repair a broken system. Some are ebuilds from tree with modified deps to allow using for example gnome-shell... Some are new ebuilds. You are supposed to be using ~amd64 or ~x86 if you use this overlay Please report any failure or missing dep. You can also request to add any ebuild. WARNING : One of the main goals of this overlay being to use a usable gnome-shell trunk, some really unstable gnome stuff should be coming during the next weeks/monthes, you should mask what you don't want to see on your system ;) Marc-Antoine@Perennou.com
