    What is new in GNOME &gnomever;?

    + +

    Although the canonical summary of new features can be found at + http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/&gnomever;/, + some of the most exciting new features of GNOME &gnomever; are:

    + + + +
    2. + + +

    How do I upgrade to GNOME &gnomever;?

    + +

    The answer is relatively simple:

    + +
      +
    1. +

      To build GNOME &gnomever;, you need to obtain the latest + ports tree skeleton. This is most easily accomplished with + portsnap(8) or CVSup. Simply obtain the latest ports tree, and you are + ready to go. Then do the following:

      + 
      +# pkgdb -Ff
+# portupgrade -f gstreamer-plugins-good
+# pkg_deinstall -fO gnome-applets\* totem\* gnome-control-center\*
+# portupgrade -aOW
+
      + +

      NOTE: it is recommended to run portupgrade + -a to make sure you get all the necessary ports.

      + +

      If you are a portmaster(8) user, make sure you have + least 1.9 version. Then do the following:

      + + 
      +# portmaster -a
+# portmaster gstreamer-plugins-good
+# pkg_delete -f gnome-applets\* totem\* gnome-control-center\* \
+	  gnome-keyring-manager\*
+# portmaster -a
+
      + +
    +
    3. + + +
  3. +

    The upgrade failed; what do I do?

    + +

    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.

    + +

    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 portupgrade or portmaster, and then + reinstall the port when the upgrade process is complete.

    +

    List of GNOME &gnomever; problems and their solutions

    + +

    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:

    I have found a bug; whom should I alert?

    + +

    Please read the FreeBSD GNOME Project's + documentation on reporting bugs. +

    I want the fame and glory of being part of the FreeBSD GNOME team! + What can I do to participate?
