Joe Marcus Clarke e18151212d Presenting GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD. The release is chock full of bug fixes
and new features.  Don't believe me?  Then see for yourself at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/.

DO NOT USE portupgrade by itself to upgrade to GNOME 2.12.  Instead, use
the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh.  This script will
circumvent some potential pitfalls users can see if they use portupgrade
by itself.

In keeping with tradition, GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD comes with a special
splash screen.  The winner of this release's contest is
Dominique Goncalves <dominique.goncalves@gmail.com>.  His splash screen
was inspired by http://art.gnome.org/contests/2.12-splash/83.

The FreeBSD GNOME Team would lank to thank the following users for

The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed
libraries in the system. It is typically used to compile and link against one
or more libraries. It's more useful to the compilation process than to
the end-user.
pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files.
These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc. By default,
pkg-config looks for these files in the following directories:
${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig, ${LOCALBASE}/libdata/pkgconfig and
${X11BASE}/libdata/pkgconfig; it will also look in the list of directories
specified by the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
