    What is new in GNOME &gnomever;?

    + +

    Although the canonical summary of new features can be found at + http://www.gnome.org/start/2.18/notes/en/, + some of the most exciting new features of GNOME &gnomever; are:

    + + + +
    2. + + +
  2. +

    How do I upgrade to GNOME &gnomever;?

    + +

    The answer is much simpler than it has been in the past:

    + +
      +
    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 -rf pkg-config\*
+
      + + +

      Then you can run portupgrade(8) as you normally + would. 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 -r pkg-config\*
+
      + +

      Then run portmaster normally.

      +
    +
    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.

    +
    4. + + +

    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:

    + + +
    5. + + +
  5. +

    I have found a bug; whom should I alert?

    + +

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

    +
    6. + + +
  6. +

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

    + +

    Please read our list of ways + to get involved! +

What is GNOME?

GNOME Logo

GNOME is a complete desktop environment, and a comprehensive suite of applications. In GNOME, everything is easy to use, attractive, powerful, and works the way you expect.

The GNOME desktop is a window-based desktop environment that provides many business, productivity, and entertainment applications, and makes non-GNOME programs faster and easier to run. The GNOME development platform is a collection of application-development tools and libraries used by many programs, such as Mozilla Firefox.

The FreeBSD GNOME Project is a team of devoted developers and users that manage the integration of GNOME and FreeBSD.

Upgrading to GNOME 2.16?

+

Upgrading to GNOME 2.18?

-

If you are upgrading from GNOME 2.14 to GNOME 2.16, read the - Upgrade FAQ for upgrade +

If you are upgrading from GNOME 2.16 to GNOME 2.18, read the + Upgrade FAQ for upgrade instructions.

State of the port

GNOME for FreeBSD is currently supported on 5-STABLE, 6-STABLE, 7-CURRENT, 5.5, and 6.1. Most of GNOME has been ported to FreeBSD, but there is still plenty left to be done!

One stop solution shop!

GNOME is simple and easy to build using the FreeBSD ports system, but sometimes things simply go wrong. If GNOME -- or anything that uses GNOME libraries -- is not building the way it should, simply run the gnomelogalyzer.sh tool from the directory of the failed port, and let the gnomelogalyzer figure out what's wrong and how to fix it!
