This patch doesn't help. The Depends was added in the first place to ensure network-manager is on CD1. Demoting that to Recommends is pointless, since we already have a Recommends in gnome-core. > How are users expected to be test GNOME anyway on kfreebsd if they're > prevented from installing it since the rc1 installer.

That said, you can of course always use a minimal installation and install GNOME later on. That should make it easy enough to test GNOME on kfreebsd. > Are kfreebsd-*'s GNOME CD-1 etc. going to be able to build if > task-gnome-desktop is uninstallable? Is there any point building them? One possible solution is to make the task- package arch:any, but IIRC that was an option joeyh didn't like. The other option to make sure NM is on CD1 IIRC was to do that via debian-cd. > Furthermore what about tech-ctte decision #688772 that squeeze->wheezy > upgrades (on GNU/Linux) should not pick up network-manager as a > dependency?
