- While I am here, remove ${BUILD_DEPENDS} from RUN_DEPENDS to avoid all of
un-need stuff to be in runtime dependencies from build dependencies such as
gmake.
- Bump the PORTREVISION.

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

rewriting. It's extremely fast, small, dynamic and awesome.
Windows can be managed in several layouts: tiled and floating. Each
layout can be applied on the fly, optimizing the environment for the
application in use and the task performed.
Managing windows in tiled mode assures that no space will be waste on
your screen. No gaps, no overlap.

compiz and provides the following features:
- Automatic plugin list generation.
- Import/Export of the current configuration.
- Configuration profiles.
- Parsing of Compiz metadata files to provide an easy to use API for
configuration managers.
- Conflict handling for plugins and actions.
- Support for different configuration storage backends.
- Desktop environment integration. If a backend provides desktop
environment integration, then Compiz will share the keybindings
and settings with the default desktop environment window
manager like metacity or kwin.
- Its own Compiz configuration plugin "ccp" to provide all features
of libcompizconfig with compiz.

ChangeLog: http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/download/ion-3-changelog.html
From the release notes: ``This release features a few minor fixes. If no major
problems are discovered, this is likely to be the last "rc" release before the
first and hopefully final "stable" release.''
- Add significantly better support in bsd.python.mk for working with

do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
subdirectory detection.
