There's no need to be combative here. I see no no problem with documenting how to get it working for those who want to try it (although I'm not sure those instructions are 100% correct) so long as they understand that it is not officially supported (and while systemd does work in Funtoo it is necessary to restore certain ebuilds to the their Gentoo variants). There are actually quite a few Funtoo users using systemd because while they want systemd, they also want Funtoo be their underlying ecosystem so I see no reason to remove it.

In any case, it is not entirely systemd I dislike but rather the exponentially growing insistence that it must be used and the removal of support for any other alternatives and without a proper transition period.

This is why I decided to deliver a complete (or nearly complete) GNOME 3.12+ experience without systemd.

P.S. Woodelf, I remember you from your one blog post regarding GNOME 3.12. For the record, it took me about a week if you count testing, not half a year :).

I'll be taking of this over at FL-1485.

You forgot to tell them to remove/rename the existing portage directory first. :)
 
But this issue has been propping up quite a lot lately and it should have a simpler fix. I will be looking into this and if I find a proper answer it will be documented on FL-1429, otherwise a clean reinstall of the portage tree is the way to go.

My guess is that you just updated perl and econf for at-spi2-core failed on checking for XML::Parser. If that's the case, please run "perl-cleaner --all" then restart your world update.

P.S. In the future, please share the full emerge output, not just the part you think is relevant.

I answered this in #funtoo, but, just for the record, I would like to state that nothing critical is missing. GNOME 3.12 in Funtoo is the full experience with minimal divergence.
