From: Koop Mast 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;/ How do I upgrade to GNOME &gnomever;? The answer is relatively simple: 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.Contents

NOTE: it is recommended to run portupgrade + -a to make sure you get all the necessary ports. The + -W option simply makes things a bit faster by not doing a + make clean after each port build.
+ +If you are a portmaster(8) user, make sure you have + least 3.1 version. Then do the following:
+ ++# pkg_delete -f gtkmm-2.20\* gtk-2.20\* +# portmaster -a ++ + + + + +
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?
