From b2f2269daff8c7e224099d352e652241fbdfcb7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guido Falsi Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2021 16:36:33 +0000 Subject: Welcome XFCE 4.16 to the FreeBSD ports tree! Upstream announce: https://xfce.org/about/news/?post=1608595200 This XFCE release dropped support for GTK2 plugins and also dropped GTK2 from all components. WARNING: please check UPDATING before upgrading your packages. In case of problems also read the libexo pkg-message. Due to this some panel plugins and libraries will be removed since they cannot compile anymore: - print/xfce4-print - x11/xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin - x11/xfce4-wmdock-plugin - x11-toolkits/libxfce4gui These further components also fail to build or work and are being marked BROKEN, deprecated and marked for removal: - science/xfce4-equake-plugin - x11/xfce4-embed-plugin - deskutils/orage - deskutils/xfce4-volumed [1] deskutils/xfce4-notes-plugin will be also marked BROKEN, but there is active development in it's upstream repository and a fixed release is expected soon. deskutils/xfce4-generic-slider will also be marked broken, since it fails to compile.
