As soon as FreeBSD 6.0 is released, GNOME 2.12 will be imported into the FreeBSD ports tree. This upgrade brings with it new versions of Glib 2. This new version includes a shared library version bump that will affect the following ports which you maintain. We would like to bump these ports' PORTREVISIONs to make upgrades easier for our users. If there is a port listed here that you would NOT like touched, please let us know as soon as possible. If you are fine with this bump, you do not need to respond to this email. Please keep in mind that bumping PORTREVISIONs will be a benefit to our users as it will not require them to do forced portupgrades. The good news is that this should be the LAST time such a bump will need to happen. Starting in GNOME 2.12, we are introducing a libtool hack that will allow our library versions to mimic those of Linux. Because of this, we do not anticipate shared library version changes of this nature in the future. Thank you.
