--=-LM+LeP/o/TLBp23DcYnE Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On behalf of the FreeBSD GNOME team, it is my great pleasure to announce that GNOME 2.20.1 has been merged into the FreeBSD ports tree. The official 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. Updates to the FreeBSD GNOME web site to document and announce these new changes are forthcoming. In the meantime, screenshots of GNOME 2.20 on FreeBSD can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/screenshots.html . 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 Scot Hetzel Martin Matuska (mm) Benoit Dejean Martin Wilke (miwi) (And anyone else I may have missed) Joe --=20 Joe Marcus Clarke FreeBSD GNOME Team :: gnome@FreeBSD.org FreeNode / #freebsd-gnome http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome --=-LM+LeP/o/TLBp23DcYnE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHIAieb2iPiv4Uz4cRAkyfAJwKdc+X8UNbFdB34EmZ5oxeAdD2IwCdHdpB 9oROtMoqCgzLrT6FAefkLPg= =GDtF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-LM+LeP/o/TLBp23DcYnE--
