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.
gnome-terminal development has stagnated. Almost all patches are in GNOME
bugzilla for the weeks and months. Bump the PORTREVISION.
-patch-01_vtemodule:
Fix build with the python module
-patch-03_cursor_position:
Added a patch for supporting some save/restore cursor position console
sequences
-patch-04_dsp_non_alias:
FcConfigSubstitute in place of _vte_fc_defaults_from_gtk to get
antialias and hinting value
http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142640
-patch-05_performance_boost:
Balanced performance improvement

This is very amazing improvement. Here's benchmark of it to show that
gnome-terminal isn't far from aterm and xterm anymore.
Old benchmark:
=======================================
$ time ls -lR /usr/ports
aterm: 7.99 real1.31 user2.75 sys
xterm: 11.04 real1.34 user2.47 sys
gnome: 41.76 real1.12 user2.45 sys (ouch....)
=======================================
New benchmark:
==============================================
$ time ls -lR /usr/ports
aterm: 7.28 real 1.20 user 2.41 sys
xterm: 9.85 real 0.91 user 2.08 sys
gnome: 10.41 real 0.86 user 2.02 sys
==============================================
Big deal!
-patch-06_remove_doublefree:
Resolve double free problem
http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161337
-patch-07_set_backspace_to_utf8:

-patch-08_multiscreen_safe:

Hide manifestation of PageUp behavior with less

<marcus>: I for one welcome our new vte patch overlord. I think all of
them would make good additions.
<ahze>: I am all for the performance_boost patch! gnome-terminal
kinda sucks when lines are going by fast.
<mezz>: showing the before and after benchmark.
<marcus>: Commit! Commit! :-)

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
2.8:

GNOME 2.8 also features a new, FreeBSD-specific splashscreen that
was designed by jimmac for GNOME 2.8, then daemonized by
Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com> and Radek Kozlowski
<radek@raadradd.com>.
As with GNOME 2.6, you cannot just "portupgrade" to GNOME 2.8. There is
a script provided at http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade28.sh
that will aid in the upgrade process. Full documentation on the GNOME 2.8
upgrade is coming following this commit.
From all of us at FreeBSD GNOME, ENJOY!
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).

rendering speed, and typing speed. The previous setting caused some jerkiness
during key repeat.
Basically, this gives the feeling of better terminal responsiveness.

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.

best way to upgrade so that you get all shared library dependencies is:
