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?
Therefore, the FreeBSD GNOME team would like to thank the following users:

period. Python 2.5 brought a vast range of incompatibility to a
large number of ports, so the python@ team will do more basic
compatibility work in a private repository and merge it later.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

- Now, lang/python is just a meta-port which depends on lang/python25.
- And all versions of Python ports have short version identifier in its
package name; python25-2.5, python24-2.4.3 and etc.
- Also you must upgrade all python modules after lang/python updated,
cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
- Give maintainership of Python ports to the new python@ group which
includes me, alexbl@ and others.
privileges. When RB_INSTALL_USER environment variable is set, ruby
will not pass '${_BINOWNGRP}' to install program, thus allowing an
ordinal user to install gem or library (e.g. into home directory).
- Eliminate extra whitespace
- Bump portrevision.

- fix CVE-2006-5072:
Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE security team discovered that the
System.CodeDom.Compiler classes used temporary files in an insecure
way. This could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite
arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. Under some circumstances, a local attacker could also
exploit this to inject arbitrary code into running Mono processes.

Extended Object Tcl (for short: XOTcl, pronounced exotickle) is an object-
oriented scripting language based on Tcl. It was originally designed for
providing language support for design patterns and provides novel constructs
such as filters or transitive mixin classes. The language is designed for
empowering rather than constraining system developers. The basic object model
is highly influenced by CLOS.
