ports which makes possible the direct translation of Cabal package
descriptions to FreeBSD ports. It promises both easier addition and
maintenance for Cabal-based ports.
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.

For some reason this port uses the <regexp.h> header file, but doesn't
link against libcompat. This means it actually calls the POSIX regex
functions, which means it will probably just crash. Just port it to the
POSIX API.

- Drop `x11/dmenu' rdep, it is no longer required
- Drop `devel/9base' dependency as well, since it is rather incomplete.
Users who prefer Plan 9'ish way of configuring WMII are advised to go
with `devel/plan9port' port instead
- Respect DOCSDIR and NOPORTDOCS
- Set LATEST_LINK now it's actually quite usable (esp. with p9p)
Feature safe: yes
reasons to unconditionally reimplement strlcat(3), which is being around in
BSD for over a decade now, but WMII does it anyways. Apparently, somebody
needs to reread Unix Haters Handbook.
Despite the fact that return value of strlcat() does not seem to be used
anywhere, I decided to keep their implementation instead of switching to
kosher implementation from our libc, just in case of some weird bug-to-bug
compatibility issue.

Feature safe: yes
Update the master site to the new openbox.org domain
From the release announcement:
There are a number of bug fixes in this release, and continued
improvements to menu behaviour. The coolest thing however, is changes
to the the focus cycling (Alt-Tab) dialog. It is now dynamic as
windows appear/disappear while focus cycling.

e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people

Officially, this is mostly a polishing release in preparation for GNOME 3.0
due in about a year.
On the FreeBSD front, though, a lot went into this release. Major thanks
goes to kwm and avl who did a lot of the porting work for this release.
In particular, kwm brought in Evolution MAPI support for better Microsoft
Exchange integration. Avl made sure that the new gobject introspection
repository ports were nicely compartmentalized so that large dependencies
aren't brought in wholesale.
But, every GNOME team member (ahze, avl, bland, kwm, mezz, and myself)
contributed to this release.
Other major improvements include an updated HAL with better volume
probing code, ufsid integration, and support for volume names containing
spaces (big thanks to J.R. Oldroyd); a new WebKit; updated AbiWord;
an updated Gimp; and a preview of the new GNOME Shell project (thanks to
Pawel Worach).
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like to that the following additional
contributors to this release whose patches and testing really helped
make it a success:
Andrius Morkunas
Dominique Goncalves
Eric L. Chen
J.R. Oldroyd
Joseph S. Atkinson
Li
Pawel Worach
Romain Tartière
Thomas Vogt
Yasuda Keisuke
Rui Paulo
Martin Wilke
(and an extra shout out to miwi and pav for pointyhat runs)
We would like to send this release out to Alexander Loginov (avl) in
hopes that he feels better soon.

Comments from the announcement:
Version 2.5.28 is a beta maintenance release that fixes a couple of
bugs and adds some minor features. Please be aware that any features
introduced in the 2.5.x development versions may be renamed, changed or
removed without notice before 2.6.0.
* New features:
- New differentiated options for SnapAttraction when snapping
against screen edges:
"None", "ScreenWindows", "ScreenIcons", "ScreenAll"
- New option to the BugOpts command: TransliterateUtf8.
* Bug fixes:
- Fixed non-visible Qt windows after a Qt deferred map (e.g.
Skype profile windows).
- Fixed the use of the X-resource "fvwmstyle".
- Fixed segmentation fault in FvwmEvent when parsing an
undefined event name, or an undefined environment variable
to the RPlayHost option.
- Fixed the events startup, shutdown and unknown in FvwmEvent.
- Fvwm now retains utf8 window names when the WM_NAME changes,
and the utf8 name converted to the default charset match
the old WM_NAME.
- Fixed the options RPlayVolume and RPlayPriority in FvwmEvent.
- Fixed SnapAttraction: Option SameType/Icons/Windows did
falsely not affect conditions of option "Screen" and option
"SameType" snapped falsely icons and windows together.
- Fixed a problem where modules would get incorrect stacking
information if many windows were restacked at the same time.
- Fixed BugOpts parsing of more than one option at a time and
restoring of default value for the last option
in the command line when omitted.
- 64 bit fix for setting EWMH _NET_WM_ICON property on windows.
Run past: marcus (portsmgr hat)
Feature safe: Yes
- Since default layout boxes actually just look ugly, but are still useful,
rework previous solution: instead of omitting them completely, draw them
in a slim fashion. Also, give option a better name (SLIM_LAYOUT_BOX)
- Apparently, Xmb* -> Xutf8* conversion was only safe thing to do with UTF-8
locales; those who use traditional (8-bit) locales and experience problems
with fonts should try rebuilding the port with UTF8_TEXT option unset
- Since our `devel/9base' port installs rc(1) but not read(1), it is of
little use as rdep anyway (`devel/plan9port' installs more complete set
of things, but is unfortunately broken on 8.0+)
- While here, pacify portlint(1) and remove _XOPEN_SOURCE definition to
prevent some warnings
. Move the include of <bsd.port.pre.mk> to prior to attempting to detect
a patch that includes ${PREFIX}. This fixes the detection and unbreaks
the packing list.
-Update libtool and libltdl to 2.2.6a.
-Remove devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15.
-Fix ports build with libtool22/libltdl22.
-Bump ports that depend on libltdl22 due to shared library version change.
-Explain what to do update in the UPDATING.
It has been tested with GNOME2, XFCE4, KDE3, KDE4 and other many wm/desktop
and applications in the runtime.
