<p>Although the canonical summary of new features can be found at

<a
|

href="http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/notes/en/">http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/notes/en/</a>,
|

some of the most exciting new features of GNOME &gnomever; are:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>HAL support for FreeBSD!</li>
|
||||
<li>MUCH better performance in large applications like
|
||||
Evolution</li>
|
||||
<li>Better power management and media/volume integration</li>
|

<li>Solid menu editing support</li>

|

<p><b>How do I upgrade to GNOME &gnomever;?</b></p>
|
||||
<!-- A2 -->
|
||||
<p>The answer is much simpler than it has been in the past:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>To build GNOME &gnomever;, 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
|
||||
# portupgrade -rf glib-2\* cairo gnome-doc-utils gnome-mime-data \
|
||||
gnome-audio startup-notification dbus
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Then you can run <tt>portupgrade(8)</tt> as you normally
|
||||
would. <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</tt> user, the following will
|
||||
work:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
# portmaster -r pkg-config\*
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Then run portmaster normally.</p>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Q3 -->
|
||||
<li style="padding-bottom: 0.5em"><a name="q3"></a>
|
||||
<p><b>The upgrade failed; what do I do?</b></p>
|
||||
<!-- A3 -->
|
||||
<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>

||||

|

<p><b>List of GNOME &gnomever; problems and their solutions</b></p>
|
||||
<!-- A4 -->
|
||||
<p>Although GNOME &gnomever; 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>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are currently no known issues with GNOME
|
||||
&gnomever;.</p>
