I couldn't put both in MC, because it will not fetch from github.com's tag. I haven't figure out how to make the fetch works. The github's tag stuff has some weird redirect. I bet the wget will working better than fetch. For now, you will have to download the distfiles and put those in /usr/ports/distfiles/gnome3 by manual. Here's two ports, x11/cinnamon and x11-wm/muffin. http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/shar/cinnamon.shar http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/shar/muffin.shar Download the distfiles: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/tags (click on TAR.GZ) https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/tags (click on TAR.GZ) > BTW: You will need nvidia-driver for it both gnome-shell and Cinnamon. > Without it, you will be in the fallback mode instead of > gnome-shell/Cinnamon. The new Xorg has been committed. Someone should try new Xorg with gnome-shell or cinnamon to see if it will better or not. I have no idea though.
