This new infrastructure is called GNOMENG. The GNOME porting guide has been updated with instructions on how to make use of GNOMENG in your ports. =20 If you maintain a GNOME/GTK/esound/imlib port, it is encouraged that you read through the guide and the ${PORTSDIR}/Mk/bsd.gnomeng.mk source and comments to familiarize yourself with the new infrastructure. The old way of porting GNOME and GTK apps is now deprecated, but will still work for the foreseeable future. However, in order to make your ports safe for both GNOME 1 and GNOME 2 users, GNOMENG is the only way to go. The porting guide can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/porting.html. If you're interested in helping out with the conversion, we need people to take ports owned by ports@, and convert them to the new infrastructure. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
