The FreeBSD GNOME Team is proud to announce that GNOME 2.16.1 has been imported into the ports tree in time for FreeBSD 6.2. This is a first. Usually the GNOME release cycle has conflicted with the FreeBSD release cycle. However, thanks to Kris and pointyhat, we were able to get the major patch tested. Below is the commit message that accompanied this huge release. In addition to the core GNOME ports, almost 500 ports were also touched to chase the GNOME move from X11BASE to LOCALBASE and fix build problems with the new freetype2.
"Presenting GNOME 2.16.1 for FreeBSD. This release represents a massive amount of work by the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our testers. On top of the usual GNOME update, we have taken this opportunity to move GNOME from X11BASE to LOCALBASE. This means roughly 600 ports NOT part of the GNOME Desktop also need to be changed. The bulk of the move was carried out by ahze, mezz, and pav, but it would not have been possible without cooperation from the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure GNOME and KDE can still coexist happily. We would also like to send a shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with multiple test runs until we got something that was solid. Back to GNOME 2.16. This release brings a huge amount of new functionality to FreeBSD. The standard release notes can be read at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/ . But on top of what you will read there, jylefort and marcus have completed work on a port of HAL to FreeBSD. This will allow FreeBSD to take advantage of closer hardware interaction such as auto-mounting CD-ROMs, USB drives, and music players; auto-playing audio CDs; and managing laptop power consumption. But where would this all be without our loyal testers and contributors?
