An appropriate HEADS-UP and a conversion shell script for those who already have many GNOME1 bits in their /usr/ports/distfiles is a must. Also a good idea would be extending bsd.gnome.mk in the case when $DIST_SUBDIR=="gnome" to check for distfile both in $DISTDIR and $DISTDIR/gnome and print a warning that the user should move the distfile into $DISTDIR/gnome. > (2) using bzip2'd distfiles wherever possible. > > I realize that this is going to require a lot of potential redownloading for > folks, but the time to do it, if at all, is just after a release. > > I'm in the process of lining up a first megapatch to bring components up to > date, and if there's no objections, would like to bring this in just before > to clean things up somewhat. (All of my existing core GNOME-2 ports use a > DIST_SUBDIR of "gnome2"). I object to the massive conversion and would rather see gradual switchover, i.e. gzip->bzip2 conversion should be only committed along with a version update. Otherwise we will unnecessarily hurt users with slow Internet connections (me included). -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
