<p><b>What is new in GNOME 2.24?</b></p>
<p>Although the canonical summary of new features can be found at <a
href="http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/">http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/</a>,
some of the most exciting new features of GNOME 2.24 are:</p>
<ul>
<li>A FreeBSD port of libxul-1.9 has been added as an alternative Gecko provider to
Firefox 2. This can be used by setting <tt>WITH_GECKO=libxul</tt> in
<tt>/etc/make.conf</tt>.</li>
<li>The Brasero disc burning application has been added to the Desktop to replace
nautilus-cd-burner.</li>
<li>The pulseaudio sound system has been made part of the Desktop to replace ESounD. This
provides more comprehensive sound support.</li>
<li>Personal file sharing (WebDAV) has been added.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 0.5em"><a id="q2" name="q2"></a>
<p><b>How do I upgrade to GNOME 2.24?</b></p>
<p>The answer is relatively simple:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>To build GNOME 2.24, you need to obtain the latest ports tree skeleton. This is most
easily accomplished with <tt>portsnap(8)</tt> or <a
href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html">CVSup</a>.
Simply obtain the latest ports tree, and you are ready to go. Then do the following:</p>
<pre>
# pkgdb -Ff
(Remove gnome-volume-manager.)
# portupgrade -aOW
# portupgrade -f gnome-media gnome-settings-daemon gnome-control-center
</pre>
<p><b>NOTE:</b> it is recommended to run <b>portupgrade -a</b> to make sure you get all
the necessary ports.</p>
<p>If you are a <tt>portmaster(8)</tt> user, make sure you have least 1.9 version. Then
do the following:</p>
<pre>
# portmaster -a
# portmaster gnome-media gnome-settings-daemon gnome-control-center
</pre>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 0.5em"><a id="q3" name="q3"></a>
<p><b>The upgrade failed; what do I do?</b></p>
<p>Unfortunately, this is not only possible, it is highly probable. There are many
possible valid GNOME configurations, and even more invalid starting points. If the script
fails, follow the instructions in the error message to let the FreeBSD GNOME team know
about the failure.</p>
<p>The majority of build failures will be dependency-related issues. One simple way to
resolve the problem is to remove the offending port, re-run <tt>portupgrade</tt> or
<tt>portmaster</tt>, and then reinstall the port when the upgrade process is
complete.</p>
</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 0.5em"><a id="q4" name="q4"></a>
<p><b>List of GNOME 2.24 problems and their solutions</b></p>
<p>Although GNOME 2.24 is certainly the best release to date (of course), there are a
couple regressions that slipped in, both in the GNOME code and in its implementation
within FreeBSD. Some of the more visible issues are:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>HAL</b> can not unmount and reset the da[0-9] devices associated with USB disks
when you manually detach them from the system. Manually removing a USB umass device while
it is mounted can result in a panic. This is a known bug in FreeBSD. See <a
href="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/103258">kern/103258</a> and <a
href="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/89102">kern/89102</a> for more
details.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 0.5em"><a id="q5" name="q5"></a>
<p><b>I have found a bug; whom should I alert?</b></p>
<p>Please read the FreeBSD GNOME Project's <a
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/bugging.html">documentation on reporting
bugs</a>.</p>
</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 0.5em"><a id="q6" name="q6"></a>

participate?</b></p>
