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
contributors:
Yasuda Keisuke
Frank Jahnke
Pawel Worach
Brian Gruber
Franz Klammer
Yuri Pankov
Nick Barkas
Cristian KLEIN
Tony Maher
Scot Hetzel

PRs fixed in this release:
111272, 113470, 115995, 116338
that came with the version 9 of the player. For licensing reasons Real
no longer ships the codec and considers it obsolete.
It is, however, in use by some major content providers -- most notably
Amazon (samples of CD audio tracks). Tested on 6.x/amd64 and 5.x/i386.
Instead of bumping PORTREVISION, change the PORTVERSION to include the
vendor's "nano-version" (PORTVERSION is now 10.0.6.776).
There really ought to be some rejoicing...
Realplayer 1.0.1 was not fetchable, so I did the update to 1.0.2.
Please verify that the ports fetches before comitting, since I am
behind a rigid firewall, and I could figure out how to teach
fetch(1) to use a HTTP_PROXY for https.
One thing I am not so sure about is the following addition to
pkg-plist:
+@unexec rmdir %D/lib/linux-mozilla 2>/dev/null || true
Since I couldn't find the directory in any of the mtree files in
/etc/mtree, I think it's okay to remove the directory if it's empty,
right?

Notes:
- linux_base-8 is needed to run its dependencies;
- the committed port is a merge of PR ports/68145 and ports/74229
with my modifications.
