Thanks for the clarification - that makes sense. >> Anyway I volunteered Federico to sort out this mess and he got that part >> more or less done. >> If you're willing to do the work I think the teams should be willing to allow you to support the necessary changes.

If the changes are really extensive then that might be the better solution unless upstream is interested in accepting the changes. That all assumes lu_zero wants to support all these packages. If not then the maintainers can drop support if they wish, and just set deps/blockers accordingly. If portage doesn't handle the resulting resolution issues properly that would seem to be a portage bug - this isn't really a typical configuration in any case. I'd be more concerned if it came up by default if you installed a stage3 and did an emerge gnome. Rich
