From 4acc6fb2a411b291c9c210d82bafe7c62e71c77d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Marcus Clarke Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 23:37:25 +0000 Subject: Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD. The official GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze). The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for more details. This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on pointyhat (respectively). The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and contributors: Yasuda Keisuke Frank Jahnke Pawel Worach Brian Gruber Franz Klammer Yuri Pankov Nick Barkas Cristian KLEIN Tony Maher Scot Hetzel Martin Matuska (mm) Benoit Dejean Martin Wilke (miwi) (And anyone else I may have missed) PRs fixed in this release: 111272, 113470, 115995, 116338 --- UPDATING | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+) (limited to 'UPDATING') diff --git a/UPDATING b/UPDATING index ac164f8c9c97..592cfdb2fae9 100644 --- a/UPDATING +++ b/UPDATING @@ -6,6 +6,33 @@ You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades. +20071024: + AFFECTS: All GNOME users and ports depend on gnomehier + AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org + + GNOME has been updated to 2.20.1.
