lines of C as possible, without being obfuscated or entirely useless. It
allows you to move, resize, focus (sloppy), and raise windows.

Skippy-XD is a version of Skippy that uses Xserver's XDamage, XComposite and
XFixes extensions to provide you with 'live' versions of the windows.
Skippy-XD is best described as a full-screen task-switcher for X11. It tries to
provide an alternative when taskbars or regular task-switchers aren't the most
efficient way of switching tasks (like when you have a lot of applications open)
When activated (currently only through a hotkey), it will arrange and scale
snapshots of all windows on the current desktop and it'll let you pick a
window using a mouse or a keyboard. Yes, this is also what expocity and Apple's
Expose.

DRI drivers are incompatible with the old libGL in XFree86, they have been
repocopied to graphics/xfree86-dri. Also note that with this commit the html
manpages are going away, and with it the runtime dependency on perl for the
imake port.

Props to: kris (multiple cluster runs and sorting through logs)
lesi (fixing all the issues in those logs, and more)
-Some clean up such as:
o Teach about the target.
o GNU_CONFIGURE -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=15
o Remove the un-need -NLS patch; it works by default.
o Teach about ${LOCALBASE}/include and ${LOCALBASE}/lib, now it will
find pkg-config, libiconv and etc correct.
o Use better WWW for fluxbox-devel: http://fluxbox.org/version-0.9.php
As for -CURRENT and malloc.conf->AJ users should be happy with this release
now, because it fixed the memory leaks and etc. Fluxbox should run without get
any crash.
See more details about this release:
http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/fluxbox/trunk/NEWS?rev=3751&view=markup
having USE_X_PREFIX defined, request its presence explicitly as makedepend
(a part of imake port) is needed to build.
Approved by: Rudolf Polzer (maintainer)
- Use OPTIONS to configure the port
- Calm portlint by tweaking a little Makefile and pkg-plist
- Fix the NOPORTDOCS plist issue
- Takeover maintainership

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:
Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com>
Piotr Smyrak <piotr.smyrak@heron.pl>
Radek Kozlowski <radek@raadradd.com>
Khairil Yusof <kaeru@pd.jaring.my>
Yasuda Keisuke <kysd@po.harenet.ne.jp>
Tom McLaughlin <tmclaugh@sdf.lonestar.org>
Vladimir Grebenschikov <vova@fbsd.ru>
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!
