Currently in testing is a glib+gtk update patch, this patch also contains other changes that need proper testing. When the patch is imported I'm going to sort out all our stale ports we got updates for in MC. Which include gimp 2.8, new poppler, libgda 4 and 5 updates and going to see there is anything else thats needs attention. When thats cleaned up I'm going to sort out the GNOME 3 situation. As you can see this is a lot of work, and since I'm mostly on my own doesn't help either. -Koop
