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:
Yasuda Keisuke
Frank Jahnke
Pawel Worach
Brian Gruber
Franz Klammer
Yuri Pankov
Nick Barkas
Cristian KLEIN
Tony Maher

These versions are only available from Ekiga.org, rather than from
the traditionally used site VoxGratia.org...
Turn the previously "hidden" knobs into OPTIONS. Make ekiga accept
whatever versions of opal and pwlib are installed.
Take over maintainership, as I plan to use ekiga myself -- unlike
the current maintainer.

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
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/ . But on top of what you will read there,
jylefort and marcus have completed work on a port of HAL to FreeBSD. This
will allow FreeBSD to take advantage of closer hardware interaction such
as auto-mounting CD-ROMs, USB drives, and music players; auto-playing
audio CDs; and managing laptop power consumption.
But where would this all be without our loyal testers and contributors?

- ${LOCALBASE}/bin/sdl11-config -> ${SDL_CONFIG}
- Add intlhack.
- Add -I${LOCALBASE}/include and -L${LOCALBASE}/lib to allow it finds more
stuff such as libintl.h and etc.
- Install dbus files in the correct place. Since, it's installed in the wrong
place and are not in plist, you can clean up by manual by do this:
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/dbus-1
- Correct the plist if you disable/enable the dbus.
- Bump the PORTREVISION.

Ekiga is a free Voice over IP phone allowing you to do free
calls over the Internet.
Ekiga is the first Open Source application to support both
H.323 and SIP, as well as audio and video. Ekiga was formerly
known as GnomeMeeting.
The new port is based on net/gnomemeeting (same author,
port Makefiles very similar), so could you please:
1) make a repocopy from gnomemeeting to ekiga
2) apply the patch in ekiga, note that old patch files are
removed, and a new patch file is provided

This is based upon work from kwm and includes patches for vfakeio to make
it work with recent pwlib and openh323 versions from Joerg Pulz.
You need a recent pwlib and openh323 port for this.
