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.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
and new features. Don't believe me? Then see for yourself at

DO NOT USE portupgrade by itself to upgrade to GNOME 2.12. Instead, use
the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh. This script will
circumvent some potential pitfalls users can see if they use portupgrade
by itself.
In keeping with tradition, GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD comes with a special
splash screen. The winner of this release's contest is
Dominique Goncalves <dominique.goncalves@gmail.com>. His splash screen
was inspired by http://art.gnome.org/contests/2.12-splash/83.

- Fix the installation of error like this below by add graphics/netpbm in the
BUILD_DEPENDS.
pnmtopng: not found
pngtopnm: not found
pnmscale: not found
[...repeat...]
- Fix the ability of disable/enable xine, so you don't have to depend on xine
when the xine thumbnail plugin is disable (aka WITHOUT_XINE).
- Fix all of plugins/thumbnails build by add @LDFLAGS@ in each of
Makefile.in's LDFLAGS. That also make xine, music stuff and etc actually
work to create the thumbnails or/and do something.
- A few other fixes that make it builds better.
- Do not extract the CVS, now our filesystem and plist look prettier.
- Add new knobs:
WITH_DEBUG
WITH_ECORE_MAINLOOP
WITHOUT_EXTRACTOR
WITHOUT_ID3
WITHOUT_VORBIS
WITHOUT_XINE
Didn't add knobs for dbus, gnomevfs, avi and etc because they either doesn't
build or cause it crashes. As for KDE stuff like dcop and kio, I am lacking
to test them so someone will have to check and test it.
- Fix the plist.
- Bump the PORTREVISION.
