(Actually, totem did not make the final cut.) No, it does not make sense to do that. You will end up having to update these apps once GNOME 2.4 comes out as there have been quite a few shared lib version bumps (e.g. atk, libgnome*, etc.). >=20 > Apart from the Gnome 1.4 stuff which was removed from the posts tree, > are there any apps that we should start to migrate away from (eg, > galeon)? Don't migrate away from Galeon; it's great! I still use Galeon as my primary browser. Just because it didn't make it into the GNOME 2.4 _Desktop_ doesn't mean it's dead. There haven't been any GNOME components removed, only moved. That is, bonobo-activation will be part of libbonobo, stickynotes_applet will be part of gnomeapplets2, and themus and fontilus will be part of gnomecontrolcenter2. >=20 > For those of us who track the ports tree, should there be any headaches > that we should be aware of, or will a cvsup and porupgrade be > sufficient? I'm still working on that. I don't want to have to hunt down all the ports that depend on, say, atk, and bump their PORTREVISIONS (though, if people think I should, I will). What I'm considering now is the following recipe: # portupgrade -rf -m BATCH=3Dyes atk # portupgrade -R -m BATCH=3Dyes gnome2 [gnome2-fifth-toe] I think that will get everything.
