The FreeBSD GNOME team proudly presents GNOME 3.14 and Cinnamon 2.2.
Gnome 3.14.1 and Cinnamon 2.2.16 are supported on FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE and up.

This commit removes the old GNOME 2 desktop, bindings and some ports that
can't be compiled. A few ports where updated to more recent versions to
allow them to compile with this update.

Apart from updating ports to newer versions

GDM is more integrated with gnome-shell now, and handles several things for
the GNOME desktop such as screen locking. If you want to use GNOME 3 via
startx, you will have to add your own lock screen/screensaver. For example
xscreensaver
can be used for sessions started without GDM.

Shell Extensions can be installed via https://extensions.gnome.org/ , we have
ported a few that can't be installed via this way.
The old gnome-utils and gnome-games ports where split up into single ports
and where converted to meta-ports.
gnome-terminal requires a UTF-8 locale to run, gdm handles this already, but
if you use startx you need to do this yourself.

Upgrade instructions:

Delete the old and conflicting packages:
# pkg delete clutter gnome-utils gnome-panel gnome-keyring vala-vapigen \
    guile gcalctool gnome-media libgnomekbd
# pkg delete gnome-screensaver gnome-applets bug-buddy evolution-exchange \
    evolution-webcal gnome-system-tools seahorse-plugins gnome-control-center

For package users the following lines will be enough:
# pkg upgrade
# pkg install gnome3

For ports users should do the following:
# portmaster -a
# portmaster x11/gnome3

We are currently aware of two issues. The first issue is a bug in the
file monitoring code in the glib20 port. This bug causes glib programs
to crash when files in a monitored directory are added or removed.
Upstream is aware of the problem, but since the problem is quite complex
there is no solution yet. This problem isn't restricted to BSD.

The second issue is that on certain video cards totem will display a
purple/pink overlay on the video. It not clear yet where the issues
comes from.

Major thanks goes to Gustau Perez for being a driving force behind getting
GNOME 3 up to speed again. Also thanks to Antoine Brodin for running the
exp-runs.

The FreeBSD GNOME team presents a Glib and Gtk+ 3 update.

This update updates Glib20 to 2.36 and Gtk+ 3.8

* The gio-fam-backend port that used gamin for the GFileMonitor API is gone.
  It is replaced by a GIO kqueue implementation developed as part of a NetBSD
  GSoC 2011 project by Dimitry Matveev.
* Fix a bug in the glib20 Makefile so it includes -lintl in the glib-2.0
  pkgconfig file [1]. This broke static linking and newer binutils.
* Add introspection USE_GNOME component which sets GI_SCANNER_DISABLE_CACHE to
  prevent creation of /  root/.cache dir. Defaults to build & run depend,
  but :build and :run switches available.
* New x11-toolkits/pangox-compat port and companion USE_GNOME component for
  pangox support which was removed from the pango port. Add it to ports still
  using pangox API.

* Update the glib to 2.34.3 and gtk20 to 2.24.17 and gtk30 to 3.6.4 which
  are the latest stable releases.
* Update vala to the newest stable release 0.18.1, also update a few ports
  in the gtk/gnome stack.
* The c++ bindings ports for glib, atk, gconf, etc, have now USE_GNOME toggles.
* Remove pkg-config run depends from glib20 and freetype2. This doesn't
  eliminate pkg-config run dependency completely, a second phase is needed
  and is planned.
* Support for .:run. and .:build. for USE_GNOME components was added.
  Currently only libxml2 and libxslt support this mechanism.
* Updates of the telepathy stack and empathy.
* Trim makefile headers, convert ports to new options, trim off library
  versions for some ports.
* Fix other ports so they build with the new glib version.

- Fix lang/python27's PTH option knob handling. Since
  gobject-introspection does not use python-config correctly and PTH
  does not add itself properly to the python-config --includes knob,
  python-config --cflags are needed.

Use 'python${PYTHON_VERSION}-config --includes' to give the includes instead
of static version. Once a fix goes into Python's side then this port should
be able to build with Python's pth stuff enabled.
