The release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnwhatsnew.html, and will give you a
good idea of what has gone into this release overall. However, a lot of
FreeBSD specific additions and fixes have been made. For example, this
release offers fixed ACPI support as well as new CPU freqeuncy monitoring
support. See the FreeBSD GNOME 2.10 upgrade page at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq210.html for the entire list as well
as a list of known issues and upgrade instructions.
GNOME 2.10, as well as all of our releases, would not be possible without
the great team that goes into porting and testign each and every component.
Thanks definitely goes out to ahze, adamw, bland, kwm, mezz, and pav for all
their work. We would also like to thank our adventurous users that chose to
ride the walrus. We'd especially like to thank the following users that
provided patches for GNOME 2.10:
ade
Yasuda Keisuke
Franz Klammer
Khairil Yusof
Radek Kozlowsk
And anyone else I may have accidentally omitted.
As with GNOME 2.8, 2.10 comes with a brand-spankin' new splashscreen
courtesy of Franz Klammer. However, unlike GNOME 2.8, we've included all
of the FreeBSD GNOME splashscreen entries with gnomesession. You can
use the deskutils/splashsetter port to choose the one you like best.
As always, GNOME users should _not_ use portupgrade alone to upgrade to
2.10. Instead, get the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh.
Enjoy!
Remove the post-install/pkg-install, since gnomehier is taking care of
it.
devel/gnomevfs2
Add pkg-install and pkg-deinstall to restore libgnome's gconf key if
libgnome's .schemas exists. This fix the plist complained by pointyhat.
Why restore libgnome's gconf key during the installtion if it exists?
Because, libgnome always depend on gnomevfs2 so make sure the libgnome
is still in the top when we either reinstall or upgrade gnomevfs2.
misc/gnomehier
Remove the etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/*, since the gconftool is
taking care of it. ie: GCONF_SCHEMAS
x11/libgnome
Add pkg-deinstall to restore gnomevfs2's gconf key if gnomevfs2's
schemas exists. This fix the plist complained by pointyhat. Also, this
is a real fix for the weird keyboard problem when you uninstall
libgnome without reinstall it.
Bump the PORTREVISION in all of four ports above to fix everything with gconf
keys stuff for plist. Those have been tested in the MarcusCom CVS, GNOME
tinderbox, and my tinderbox.
back when gnomegames existed. Now that there is only gnomegames2, those
path elements can be handled by gnomegames2.
Also, assign maintainership to gnome@.
apps to bsd.gnomeng.mk. The goal is to make GNOME1 framework more modular,
which will allow to use GNOME1 apps with GNOME2 desktop as well as considerably
reduce langht of dependency chains for GNOME1 ports (for example after this
commit AbiWord's dependency chain was reduced by 7 ports from 57 to only
50, while Gnumeric's - from 60 to 53 and so on).
The most of the GNOME1 apps are still not converted, so that lot of work is
still ahead.
Please report any unusual problems to gnome@FreeBSD.org.
