It will initially be in the overlay.  In the past, we've put the masked
beta into portage, but with the official overlay, I'd advocate leaving
it there until the final release is available.  However, even money
it'll make it into portage masked.

There will be a gnome meta-ebuild when someone gets around to making
it...  You might want to roll your own, because it likely won't happen
until someone needs to do a clean install, which will probably be post
2.16 release.  In practice, the current meta should work fine for a
clean install, since the newest versions will be pulled in.  That said,
if you do make one, feel free to send it my way, and I'll commit it to
the overlay.
