Presenting GNOME 2.10 for FreeBSD!

The release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnwhatsnew.html, and will give you a
good idea of what has gone into this release overall.  However, a lot of
FreeBSD specific additions and fixes have been made.  For example, this
release offers fixed ACPI support as well as new CPU freqeuncy monitoring
support.  See the FreeBSD GNOME 2.10 upgrade page at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq210.html for the entire list as well
as a list of known issues and upgrade instructions.

GNOME 2.10, as well as all of our releases, would not be possible without
the great team that goes into porting and testign each and every component.
Thanks definitely goes out to ahze, adamw, bland, kwm, mezz, and pav for all
their work.  We would also like to thank our adventurous users that chose to

- split multimedia/gstreamer-plugins in to individual ports per
  gstreamer plugin (52 new ports).
- Chase changes to ports that used USE_GNOME=gstreamerplugisn
   to use new USE_GSTREAMER= macro, Bump PORTREVISION's

--

Examples of new USE_GSTREAMER macro:

 USE_GSTREAMER=        dvd lame flac
 .include <bsd.port.mk>

 If you want to use USE_GSTREAMER after <bsd.port.pre.mk>
 you must follow one of the examples listed below

Use new GCONF_SCHEMAS.

Presenting GNOME 2.8 for FreeBSD (2.8.1 to be exact).

This release notes detailing all of the new goodies in GNOME 2.8 can
be found at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/, and the list of what
was fixed in GNOME 2.8.1 can be found at
http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2004-October/msg00056.html.

This release, as well as all of our others, would not have been possible
without the great efforts of our FreeBSD GNOME Team.  The list of
current members can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/contact.html
(including our newest member, Michael Johnson <ahze@FreeBSD.org>).

Special thanks also goes out to all of the loyal FreeBSD GNOME users that
put up with crashes and hangs to test and debug GNOME on FreeBSD.  We would
especially like to thank those users that provided patches for GNOME 2.7 and

Chase the gstreamer shared lib bump.

Apply a big libtool patch to allow porters to use the libtool installed by
the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port.  Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version.  To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER.  Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.

For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:

USE_LIBTOOL_VER=        15

To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:

USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER=    15

With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

Use the new GConf handling policy, this will be required for GNOME 2.7/2.8 or
those ports will not work. Please see the more detail about this:

Chase the gstreamer shared lib version, and bump PORTREVISION where
appropriate.

Remove a patch that is no longer needed.

Add a patch forgotten by the merge script.

Presenting GNOME 2.6.0.  The FreeBSD GNOME Team feels this our best release
ever.  It fixes many bugs, and adds some features missing in previous
FreeBSD ports.  To help users upgrade from GNOME 2.4, we have constructed an
upgrade FAQ at:

http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html

Please read it carefully.  GNOME 2.6 packages are also available for all
supported i386 versions of FreeBSD at:

The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like the thank the following users for their
wonderful testing and patching efforts.  We would especially like to thank
Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com> for his wonderful new splash screen.
Without these people, our team, and our team alumni, GNOME on FreeBSD would
not be possible.

Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".

For ports-in-waiting:

        USE_LIBTOOL=YES         ->      USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
        USE_AUTOCONF=YES        ->      USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
        USE_AUTOMAKE=YES        ->      USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14

Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.

- Use intlhack to fix build on systems with old perl. [1]
- Use lthack.

Update to 0.3.4.

Bump PORTREVISION on all ports that depend on gettext to aid with upgrading.

(Part 1)

USE_REINPLACE need be defined only when REINPLACE_CMD is used.

Update to GNOME 2.4.0.  For all the goodies on what's changed, known issues,
future plans, etc., please see http://www.gnome.org/start/2.4/.

Please check the FreeBSD GNOME site for any FreeBSD gotchas, as well as
general FAQs and documentation (GNOME 2.4 updates to be posted soon).  The
best way to upgrade so that you get all shared library dependencies is:

portupgrade -rf -m BATCH=yes atk
portupgrade -R -m BATCH=yes gnome2
