Upgrade instructions for port users:

Update totem to 3.14 now that we have gstreamer 1.4 and minor gnome updates.
Update evolution suite to 3.12.9.
Make sure gtk30 pulls in adwait-icon-theme, since it now the default theme [3].

It has become a patch spaghetti over the time and making it support newer version
of various graphics libraries will be a nightmare
It is time to say good bye to imlib1

the 32 ports that still use it. Bump PORTREVISION on their dependent
ports except the ones that depend on these:
audio/libogg
audio/libvorbis
devel/pcre
ftp/curl
graphics/jpeg
graphics/libart_lgpl
graphics/tiff
textproc/expat2
textproc/libxslt
In these cases the same trick as in the recent gettext update is used.
The ports install a symlink with the old library version. When enough
of their dependent ports have had regular updates the remaining ones can
get a PORTREVISION bump and the links can be removed.
Also remove the devel/pcre dependency from USE_GNOME=glib20. It causes
over 2200 packages to depend on devel/pcre while less than 200 actually
link with it. The glib20 package still depends on devel/pcre so this
should not make a difference for ports with USE_GNOME=glib20. Also,
libdata/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc lists pcre as a private library so
USE_GNOME=glib20 should not propagate it.

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.

and everyone I missed
and libintl.so. This fixes a problem where DATADIRNAME gets an incorrect
value which causes locale files to be installed in the wrong place.
- The only configure checks that still need to be patched are related
to intltool so move DATADIRNAME patching from USES=pathfix to
USE_GNOME=intlhack.

- Remove support for USE_AUTOTOOLS=libtool and USE_AUTOTOOLS=libltdl
PR: 188978 [1]
Approved by: portmgr (bapt)
- Convert to USES=libtool and bump dependent ports
- Add INSTALL_TARGET=install-strip
- Remove patches that renamed include directories and libraries so they
didn't conflict with early development versions of glib/gtk 2.0
Split off gnome-pty-helper from vte to allow both versions of vte to be
installed at the same time.
Update comment to make it clearer which gtk+ version it is for.
Enable introspection bindings in vte.
Obtained from: GNOME dev repo.
The problem with the old method is that the libtool is configured to look
first in LOCALBASE for libraries to link to. Normaly this wouldn't cause
a problem. However if a port that builds a library with new API also builds
introspection files or say gtk bindings, then libtool will look first into
LOCALBASE and find the old library version for linking the introspection
files or gtk bindings. Due to the missing new API in old library the build
will fail with unresolved symbols.
The new ltverhack will patch the ltmain.sh and/or libtool files that where
bundled with the port. This libtool is correctly configured to first look
in for the just build libraries.
If the port bundled version of ltmain.sh and/or libtool aren't in ${WRKSRC}
then ltverhack_PATCH_FILES can be overwritten with there location in ${WRKSRC}.
As a bonus when using the new ltverhack configure will honor --disable-static
again. So please check your plist after converting.
While here shorten the number of tabs in the lthacks, ltverhack and
ltasneededhack PRE_PATCH components so they are just over 80 chars long.

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.
