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
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).
The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and
contributors:

I'm not able to find good Indic fonts in the ports. Fedora's Lohit
project has some great fonts for a whole bunch of Indian languages and
many Linux distros provide it in their repos.

releases in that it focuses more on stability and functionality than on
new features. Not that it doesn't have its share of new and exciting
items. See http://www.gnome.org/start/2.18/ for all the goodies in
this release.
GNOME 2.18 for FreeBSD would not have been possible without the hard work
of the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our intrepid band of testers including
J. W. Ballantine, Pawel Worach, Yasuda Keisuke, Pascal Hofstee, miwi,
Yoshihiro Ota, Vladimir Grebenschikov, Jukka A. Ukkonen,
Phillip Neumann, Franz Klammer, and Neal Delmonico.

amount of work by the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our testers.
On top of the usual GNOME update, we have taken this opportunity to move
GNOME from X11BASE to LOCALBASE. This means roughly 600 ports NOT part of
the GNOME Desktop also need to be changed. The bulk of the move was carried
out by ahze, mezz, and pav, but it would not have been possible without
cooperation from the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure
GNOME and KDE can still coexist happily. We would also like to send a
shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with multiple test runs
until we got something that was solid.
Back to GNOME 2.16. This release brings a huge amount of new functionality
to FreeBSD. The standard release notes can be read at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/ . But on top of what you will read there,
jylefort and marcus have completed work on a port of HAL to FreeBSD. This
will allow FreeBSD to take advantage of closer hardware interaction such
as auto-mounting CD-ROMs, USB drives, and music players; auto-playing
audio CDs; and managing laptop power consumption.
But where would this all be without our loyal testers and contributors?

This True Type Font has been based on the Old German handwriting as it
was taught in Schleswig and Germany around Year 1900 (Suetterlin). If
you study sources from that time and before, it is important to be
familiar with this writing style. The font is free for personal use.

- Fix a few of pkg-descr by chase the rename.
- Move all PORTREVISION and PORTEPOCH to top with ?=.
- Put USE_X_PREFIX back in, but under REFERENCE_PORT, and remove PREFIX? and
USE_XLIB. This fix ports to use the correct mtree when you change the prefix,
for example:
Incorrect: (Without USE_X_PREFIX)
================================
# cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20
# make -V MTREE_FILE
/etc/mtree/BSD.x11-4.dist
# make PREFIX=/tmp/foo -V MTREE_FILE
/etc/mtree/BSD.local.dist <-- Here...
================================
Correct: (With USE_X_PREFIX)
================================
# cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20
# make -V MTREE_FILE
/etc/mtree/BSD.x11-4.dist
# make PREFIX=/tmp/foo -V MTREE_FILE
/etc/mtree/BSD.x11-4.dist <-- Here...
================================
- Change a several of *-reference ports to install in LOCALBASE instead
X11BASE, but only two gtkmm*-reference couldn't be change at the moment.
Bump the PORTREVISION for change prefix.
Discussed with: marcus
Rename this ports to use the real vendor package name. The advantage of this
is to allow our users' keyword search works and easier for users to file the
Bugzilla report when they use our name of ports. Debian, Gentoo, NetBSD and
other OSs have the correct package name, but not in our ports tree.
My team, FreeBSD GNOME Team, have agreed with it.
As for other ports, chase the rename.

fontconfig (or the fonts ports/packages) are supposed to run fc-cache.
I also noticed it has problems with some fonts, so we may end up with a
not complete cache in this version.
This should fix the build on pointyhat (cache files left after pkg_delete).
While I'm here use a link to the native fonts.conf, we don't need our
own here.
- use fixed plists [1]
- category "linux" added to those ports without it [1]
- update some ports to a recent FC3 one [1]
- remove plists/... for Alpha (there's no support since linux_base-8 for
Alpha anymore)
- don't hardcode version numbers in some plists, use PLIST_SUB instead
(any errors are mine, don't keep them, send them to me)
Regarding linux-ungif I declare a maintainer timeout (one month, Boris tried
to contact the maintainer) and also pull the "sweeping commit"-card (the
port which it uses as some kind of master port can not be used for this
anymore). Besides this, I don't think he will be upset when other people
do the work instead of adding an entry to his TODO list. :-)
This commit brings us just before the switch of the default linux base
port to the fc3 one, modulo some bugs which may appear. So:
Beta testers wanted!
To test:
sed -i.old -e 's:linux-XFree86-libs:linux-xorg-libs:' /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
echo OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc3 >> /etc/make.conf
portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc3 -f linux_base-8
portupgrade -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs
portupgrade linux-\*
The first two steps are necessary to switch to fc3 as the new default linux
base port, the last 3 steps to upgrade to fc3.
And feel free to send a big "Thank you!" to Boris, he did a lot of the work!
I just provided some hints and answered some questions (besides from
committing all the necessary changes for FC3 and doing some minor
changes+comments/improvements to/of his work), even when he tries to tell
you something else. ;-)
