Gnome 3.14.1 and Cinnamon 2.2.16 are supported on FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE and up.
This commit removes the old GNOME 2 desktop, bindings and some ports that
can't be compiled. A few ports where updated to more recent versions to
allow them to compile with this update.
Apart from updating ports to newer versions
GDM is more integrated with gnome-shell now, and handles several things for
the GNOME desktop such as screen locking. If you want to use GNOME 3 via
startx, you will have to add your own lock screen/screensaver. For example xscreensaver
can be used for sessions started without GDM.
Shell Extensions can be installed via https://extensions.gnome.org/ , we have
ported a few that can't be installed via this way.
The old gnome-utils and gnome-games ports where split up into single ports
and where converted to meta-ports.
gnome-terminal requires a UTF-8 locale to run, gdm handles this already, but
if you use startx you need to do this yourself.
Upgrade instructions:
Delete the old and conflicting packages:
# pkg delete clutter gnome-utils gnome-panel gnome-keyring vala-vapigen \
guile gcalctool gnome-media libgnomekbd
# pkg delete gnome-screensaver gnome-applets bug-buddy evolution-exchange \
evolution-webcal gnome-system-tools seahorse-plugins gnome-control-center
For package users the following lines will be enough:
# pkg upgrade
# pkg install gnome3
For ports users should do the following:
# portmaster -a
# portmaster x11/gnome3
We are currently aware of two issues. The first issue is a bug in the
file monitoring code in the glib20 port. This bug causes glib programs
to crash when files in a monitored directory are added or removed.
Upstream is aware of the problem, but since the problem is quite complex
there is no solution yet. This problem isn't restricted to BSD.
The second issue is that on certain video cards totem will display a
purple/pink overlay on the video. It not clear yet where the issues
comes from.
Major thanks goes to Gustau Perez for being a driving force behind getting
GNOME 3 up to speed again. Also thanks to Antoine Brodin for running the exp-runs.
This update was also made possible by:

Kris Moore

Ryan Lortie
Antoine Jacoutot
and everyone I missed
Changes:
- Lots of documentation fixes
- Lots of typos fixes in messages
- Fix UI when a package is going to be downgraded
- Cleanup is internal functions (removing useless accessors)
- Do not allow to create packages in old format anymore (it was broken anyway)
- allow ? and ! in pkg version limchar
- New configuration option VERSION_SOURCE (to the version used to read INDEX)
- Really fix multirepo (hopefully)
The next update will be 3.1-RC1.
Changes:
* The HTML interface is now fixed for file:// and direct access. This
currently only works for the build directory. The jail-level and top-level
do not yet work, but may in the future.
* Fix usage over NFS when root does not have access to current directory.
* Fix performance for qemu/native-xdev by not using /bin/sh for pkg(8)'s
ABI_FILE
Changes:
- Reinstall packages if one of its dependency have change
While hackish this allows seamless upgrade of perl5 and ruby2
- Fix pkg audit as used from ports
- Reject chroot for unknown ABIs
- Fix generating repos from 1.3 created packages
- Allow to build out of the source tree
- Fix ABI detection on armeb
- Fix some left overs from Unique id migration
- Fix pkg delete regression (it is again recursive by default)
- Locked packages prevent deleting anything that depends on them
- Fix pkg upgrade on multi repo
- Fix pkg upgrade ignoring the lock flag
Thank you very much for all the testers and reports! Please keep testing!
precompiled binary was removed from it. Also move ${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL}
towards the end in MASTER_SITES because the new file is still not
propagated to the mirrors.
This program provides for an alternate pkg upgrade procedure.
Usage: pkg-compare [options] new_path old_path
This program reads local.sqlite in new_path and compares list of installed
packages in local.sqlite in old_path. If a package is found in old_path which
is not in new_path then the name of the port is printed, one per line.
Command line switches:
-p prefix uninstalled packages with 'pkg install -Rf'
-m show manually installed packages only, no deps

Approved by: swills (mentor)
Changes:
- Lots of cleanup in the API
- Huge refactoring to avoid using hashes where not needed
- add a new @config keyword for all files with such flags pkg will try
automatically to merge the difference with newer version on upgrades
a vanilla version of the file is kept in the db to allow 3 way merge
this was the last blocker to be able to package base
- new options AUTOMERGE to prevent pkg to automatically merge @config files
- speed up upgrades by only extracting files that are different from 2 packages
- convert unique package identifier to the package name (at last !)
- drop incremental update support this was preventing allowing multiple packages
with the same name in a remote repo
- lots of improvements in the pkg update process
- update sqlite to 3.8.7
- Change pkg audit so that it points to the http://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/freebsd/
location by default
- Lots of fixes in the solver

Changes:
- Rework the job request processing
- Fix pkg install/upgrade
- Fix forced reinstall
- Rework of integrity checking

this is encoded in the package as "abi" the old "arch" key remains for compatibility and is translated to the old ABI
- New option ALTABI represent the ancient ABI format
- Repository configuration files can now talle ${ALTABI} as well as ${ABI}
