<p><b>What is the current state of development GNOME on FreeBSD?</b></p>
<!-- A7 -->
<p>Development versions of the entire GNOME &gnomedevelver; desktop
environment are available, and they all compile cleanly.</p>
<p>GNOME &gnomedevelver; is currently being ported as
components are released. However, there is not an official
&gnomedevelver; release available yet.</p>
<p>Most of the components of <tt>x11/gnome2-fifth-toe</tt> have working
development versions. None of the apps that use the C++
bindings work yet; the C++ bindings themselves are there, but
none of the Fifth Toe apps will currently compile against them.</p>
<p>Existing GNOME &gnomedevelver; users should do the
following to work around a file conflict with libgnome and
gnomecontrolcenter2 that caused key repeat to fail:</p>
<pre>
# portupgrade -f gnomecontrolcenter2
# portupgrade -f libgnome
</pre>
