Upgrading from gnome to gnome-without-systemd possible?

Thanks a LOT for now having gnome without systemd and your fine documentation here. I don't have systemd but installed gnome and it work so so. I boot into a system prompt and after logging in start X and gnome with startx. It works.

Is it possible just to upgrade to gnome without systemd more or less as described or should I uninstall the current gnome altogether and start all over again (as described)?

Did anybody do something similar I would like to do?

Hi Olivier apologies just saw your post here when making an edit to the main page - for some reason my mail system swallowed the page change notification ><

Anyway, I believe if you are already on OpenRC, you should just be able to upgrade directly after installing Dantrell's overlays, no need to uninstall GNOME first. See his comment here.

Hope that helps! If you have other questions, there's a thread on the Gentoo discussion forum about Dantrell's overlays here.
