There will be two * meta-ports, one called x11/gnome, which will contain a "minimal" * (if that means anything) installation. Almost certainly none of * the applications that are currently present, just the core libraries, * basic widget sets, etc.) - if a port is GNOMEish, then it will simply * need to depend on this port. * * It may be possible for ports to use only parts of x11/gnome to actually * run, but I (at least) will consider such ports to be "unsupported", * and won't test them should x11/gnome (or its components) get updated. * * Alongside this will be a new meta-port, x11/gnome-extra sounds like a * good name right now, which will initially be a list of RUN_DEPENDS * of applications that are currently in x11/gnome, and possibly add * a few more. * * Don't base any assumptions on the existing x11/gnome metaport, * it's not going to be recognizable soon. I don't have a problem with the minimalist approach, but I think the new "minimal" gnome should be called something else. When someone clicks on the "install gnome" button in sysinstall, they will get x11/gnome, which has always been the meta-port that includes the whole set.
