release can be found at http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.30/ .
This release brings initial PackageKit support, Upower (replaces power
management part of hal), cuse4bsd integration with HAL and cheese, and a
faster Evolution.
Sadly GNOME 2.30.x will be the last release with FreeBSD 6.X support. This
will also be the last of the 2.x releases. The next release will be the
highly-anticipated GNOME 3.0 which will bring with it a new UI experience.
Currently, there are a few bugs with GNOME 2.30 that may be of note for our
users. Be sure to consult the UPGRADING note or the 2.30 upgrade FAQ at
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq230.html for specific upgrading
instructions, and the up-to-date list of known issues.
This release features commits by avl, ahze, bland, marcus, mezz, and myself.
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like to thank Anders F Bjorklund for doing the
initual packagekit porting.

9-CURRENT introduced unzip command to the base system. Unfortunately it is
not fully compatible with the archivers/unzip implementation and non-trivial
amount of ports fail to build when using it. Thus we will keep using
archivers/unzip for unzipping source in Ports Collection until someone
volunteer to fix all individual ports. Two most common problems with base
unzip are:
* extracting files without +x flag (some ports rely to execute unzipped
configure scripts, for example)
* different semantics of CR/LF conversion
Error logs of failed port builds with in-base unzip can be made available on
request to portmgr@.
