Oak is a program that can be used to monitor syslogs from a collection
of servers and notify operators when problem conditions arise. In
addition to providing immediate notification of critical problems oak
will also batch less critical problems into summary messages that can
be sent less often and via any medium. For example you may wish to
have oak page you on critical events while sending a summary of less
important messages to your terminal once an hour. In addition you
could send a daily email message summarizing all events.

Unidesc consists of four programs for finding out what is in a Unicode file.
They are useful when working with Unicode files when one doesn't know the
writing system, doesn't have the necessary font, needs to inspect invisible
characters, needs to find out whether characters have been combined or in what
order they occur, or needs statistics on which characters occur.

a pkg-plist/pkgdb auto-generator for unpackaged softwares or unfinished
ports. It provides two commands:
* pkg_trackinst:
Tracks installation of unpackaged software and writes pkgdb
entry using the install log. Then, it also creates a binary
package for the installed package.
* pkg_genplist:
Generates `pkg-plist' of a port in current directory automatically
by a test installation.

for further processing. symon has been designed to inflict minimal performance
and security impact -- it can be run as nobody on the system it monitors.
symux is a non-priviledged daemon that listens to incoming symon traffic. symux
can write the incoming symon streams into rrd files. Clients interested in
monitoring machine state can also log into symux and receive data as ascii as
it arrives.
symon2web is a php script that can show the data stored in the rrd files.

The release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnwhatsnew.html, and will give you a
good idea of what has gone into this release overall. However, a lot of
FreeBSD specific additions and fixes have been made. For example, this
release offers fixed ACPI support as well as new CPU freqeuncy monitoring
support. See the FreeBSD GNOME 2.10 upgrade page at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq210.html for the entire list as well
as a list of known issues and upgrade instructions.
GNOME 2.10, as well as all of our releases, would not be possible without
the great team that goes into porting and testign each and every component.
Thanks definitely goes out to ahze, adamw, bland, kwm, mezz, and pav for all
their work. We would also like to thank our adventurous users that chose to
ride the walrus. We'd especially like to thank the following users that
provided patches for GNOME 2.10:
ade
Yasuda Keisuke
Franz Klammer
Khairil Yusof
Radek Kozlowsk
And anyone else I may have accidentally omitted.
As with GNOME 2.8, 2.10 comes with a brand-spankin' new splashscreen
courtesy of Franz Klammer. However, unlike GNOME 2.8, we've included all
of the FreeBSD GNOME splashscreen entries with gnomesession. You can
use the deskutils/splashsetter port to choose the one you like best.
As always, GNOME users should _not_ use portupgrade alone to upgrade to
2.10. Instead, get the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh.
Enjoy!

Graveman is yet another GPL GTK2 frontend for cdrecord, mkisofs, readcd and sox.
It does NOT require a lot of GNOME libfoos and libbars, so it is
ideal for using with lightweight GTK2 window managers, like XFCE4, for example.
