<title>GNOME is moving!</title>
<p>...PREFIXes, that is. That's right, GNOME is leaving its
home in X11BASE, and joining KDE (and a lot of other ports)
in LOCALBASE. This is being done as part of an effort to
collapse into one third-party package PREFIX as X11R6 is no
longer as relevant as it used to be. All of the work is
happing in the
<a href="$base/gnome/docs/develfaq.html">MarcusCom ports
tree</a>
, so expect GNOME 2.16 under /usr/local. The work is going
extremely well, and we expect to be fully moved and unpacked
in time for GNOME 2.16 Beta 1 (aka 2.15.90).</p>

<title>GNOME 2.15.4 available for FreeBSD</title>
<p>What happened to .1, .2, and .3? Well, GNOME 2.15 had a
pretty rough start, especailly for FreeBSD. However, we now
have a working GNOME 2.15.4 along with
<a href="$base/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q21">packages</a>
and a port of

HAL</a>
! There are still some nasty problems in this release, so be
sure to checkout the official 2.15.4
