...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 + MarcusCom ports + tree + + , 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).

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 + packages + + and a port of + + HAL + + ! There are still some nasty problems in this release, so be + sure to checkout the official 2.15.4 + + release notes + + for workarounds.
