The FreeBSD GNOME team is proud to annunce the release of GNOME 2.22.0 for
FreeBSD. The official GNOME 2.22 release notes can be found at
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/ . On the FreeBSD front,
this release features an updated hal port with support for video4linux
devices, DRM (Direct Rendering), and better support of removable media. Work
is also underway to tie webkit more closely into GNOME. As part of the
GNOME 2.22 upgrade, GStreamer received a rather large upgrade as well.
Be sure to consult UPDATING on the proper steps to upgrade all of your
GNOME ports.
This release would not have been possible without the contributions and
testing efforts of the following people:
Pawel Worach

edwin
Peter Ulrich Kruppa
J. W. Ballantine
Yasuda Keisuke
Andriy Gapon

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:

[patch] port update for irc/ircd-ratbox
Update of irc/ircd-ratbox port from ircd-ratbox-2.2.5 to
ircd-ratbox-2.2.6
[patch] port upgrade for irc/ratbox-services
Update of irc/ratbox-services port from ratbox-services-1.0.3 to
ratbox-services-1.1.2
Removal of irc/ircd-ratbox-devel
The ircd-ratbox-devel port is depreciated and installs an
out-dated version of ircd-ratbox. There is no current
development release of ircd-ratbox; please could this port
be deleted as the ratbox team are some time away from
releasing a new development version.
[Note that irc/ircd-ratbox-devel was synced with irc/ircd-ratbox]

- Add experimental support of OPTIONS.
From UPDATING:
By popular request, OPTIONS support has been added. When actived
(default), these knobs are ignored:
* WITH_<CATEGORY>_MODULES
* WITHOUT_<CATEGORY>_MODULES
* WITH_CUSTOM_<CATEGORY>
* WITH_MODULES
* WITHOUT_MODULES
* WITH_STATIC_MODULES
However, you can disable OPTIONS by defining WITHOUT_APACHE_OPTIONS.
- move envvars support to the beginning of apache22_checkconfig() to be
sure we're using envvars during configtest [1]

- Repocopy qmail-scanner to mail/qmail-scanner1 to preserver 1.x version
I made a big confusion here, i forgot i have transfered maintainership of
qmail-scanner to jmelo@, and I took the PR and did all the job.
I explained to jmelo@ and he approved all these changes.

- Bring back lines about portupgrade database recreating. They make no hurt
but make us sure a user will not shout his leg by accidently changing
BDB version.
- Fix a typo.
Noted by: kris
In xorg serction:
- remove useless database recreations commands for portupgrade-devel. It
use the same format.
- Fix a paragraph when was said Xorg recreate xorg.conf file on run.
It does not, so you need see a log for defaults and fix your old
xorg.conf by hands.
- Change the name to Xorg to indicate that not only the x11/xorg
meta-port is affected.
- Mention that users with unchanged environments can use fetchindex
and do not need to build it by hand.
