Service discovery on a local network -- this means that you can plug your
laptop or computer into a network and instantly be able to view other people
who you can chat with, find printers to print to or find files being shared.
This kind of technology is already found in MacOS X (branded 'Rendezvous',
'Bonjour' and sometimes 'ZeroConf') and is very convenient.

- Readd option for QT4

Disable qt4 support for now since we don't have any net/avahi-qt4.

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

Update to 0.6.21, and add a patch from avahi SVN to fix a segfault when
no domains are configured in /etc/resolv.conf.

- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
  supports them.  This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
  do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
  which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
  Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
  PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
  subdirectory detection.

Presenting GNOME 2.16.1 for FreeBSD.  This release represents a massive
amount of work by the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our testers.

On top of the usual GNOME update, we have taken this opportunity to move
GNOME from X11BASE to LOCALBASE.  This means roughly 600 ports NOT part of
the GNOME Desktop also need to be changed.  The bulk of the move was carried
out by ahze, mezz, and pav, but it would not have been possible without
cooperation from the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure
GNOME and KDE can still coexist happily.  We would also like to send a
shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with multiple test runs
until we got something that was solid.

Back to GNOME 2.16.  This release brings a huge amount of new functionality
to FreeBSD.  The standard release notes can be read at

Presenting GNOME 2.14.1 for FreeBSD!  Checkout
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/ for the official release notes, and a list
of all the gooides in this new release.  In particular, GNOME 2.14 focused
on performance, and they did not miss the mark.  There's some new eye candy,
but most of the big things are waiting until GNOME 2.16.  On the FreeBSD
side, we tried to clean up all the crashers we could.  In particular, we
really improved GNOME's 64-bit support.

The good news is that this release does not bring any big shared library
version bumps, so you can almost do a simple portupgrade to get to 2.14.
There are a few minor gotchas that will be documented in UPDATING shortly.

The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like th thank the following users for their
patches, feedback, and sometimes incessant complaing about crashes (you
know who you are).

Track the dbus socket path change.

Fix avahi's use of sendmsg(2) so that it actually works.

Chase shlib bump of libexpat.

In trying to solve a problem with inconsistencies when linking with -shared
and ${PTHREAD_LIBS}, avahi linked its binaries with -lc_r on FreeBSD.  This
caused nasty runtime failures on i386, and build failures on alpha, amd64,
and other platforms where libc_r no longer exists.

To fix this, don't go through the song and dance of trying to solve the
-shared/${PTHREAD_LIBS} problem, and just link with ${PTHREAD_LIBS} as
usual.  Of course, ports that depend on avahi's libraries will break by
doing this, so add ${PTHREAD_{LIBS,CFLAGS}} to the right pkg-config files
to make sure dependencies will pick them up.

Add avahi, another mDNS, Zeroconf, Bonjour, Redezvous, etc. implementation

Freedesktop.org.

Avahi provides Service discovery on a local network -- this means that you
can plug your laptop or computer into a network and instantly be able to view
other people who you can chat with, find printers to print to or find files
