gksu is a Gtk+ frontend to /bin/su. It supports login shells and preserving
environment when acting as a su frontend. It is useful to menu items or other
graphical programs that need to ask a user's password to run another program
as another user.

===> The following configuration options are available for gksu-2.0.2_9:
NAUTILUS=on: Build extension for GNOME file manager
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
sysutils: remove 'Created by' lines

textproc/libxml2: bump all LIB_DEPENDS consumers
This is a separate commit to facilitate easier cherry-picking for
quarterly.

textproc/libxml2: bump all dependencies
This should make sure that all dependent ports will pick
up the new version commited with a13ec21cd733f67a9fc0dc00ab45268bdc236246
sysutils/gksu and sysutils/libgksu: Fix gksudo not running command
This fixes an issue where gksudo would successfully authenticate
the user, but fail to run the requested command. This was caused by
gksudo forking a new PTY, meaning that different TTY was used for the
"sudo -v" command and subsequent "sudo -n ..." command. Whilst this used
to work, newer versions of sudo used per TTY authentication caching.
Patch taken from Arch Linux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libgksu/
Also fixed:
- Made Nautilus plugin optional, so gksu can be installed without GNOME
- Added license details, pet portlint
- Tidied patches: move path fixes into port Makefile
USES+= gettext-tools on 6 ports
These ports require msgfmt. FreeBSD doesn't fail to build these ports
because a default option on gvfs brings in this tool. The same gvfs
option is off by default on DragonFly and thus the missing dependencies
were unmasked. Explicitly add gettext-tools to get msgfmt.
Remove more tags from pkg-descr files fo the form:
- Name
em@i.l
or variations thereof. While I'm here also fix some whitespace and other
formatting errors, including moving WWW: to the last line in the file.
- Add LDFLAGS to CONFIGURE_ENV and MAKE_ENV (as it was done with LDFLAGS)
- Fix all ports that add {CPP,LD}FLAGS to *_ENV to modify flags instead

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD. The official
GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
