I succeeded in upgrading GNOME from 2.6.x to 2.8. I had some difficulties, summarized as follows: - problems downloading the source for devel/desktop-file-utils-0.9 since the primary site was being rebuilt and the Makefile for this port in my ports tree didn't include the alternate site - x11-fm/nautilus2 failed to build due to an error detected by the compiler in the source code: nautilus-image-properties-view.c:134: macro 'exif_content_get_value' used with too many (4) args - www/mozilla failed to build due to "fetch: libart_lgpl.tar.bz2: local modification time does not match remote" - upgrading x11-toolkits/open-motif from 2.2.2_2 to 2.3 failed because I have portaudit installed and 2.3 has a security problem (2.4 doesn't but it isn't in the ports tree) - undefined reference to 'krb5_free_data_contents' error when linking ximian-connector-setup-2.0.2 My upgrade log is at http://www.dancingkayak.com/other/freebsd/upgrade.html at the bottom of the page. This is a step-by-step description of what I did and what I encountered, not the log file produced by the GNOME 2.6-2.8 upgrade script. This was a multi-GUI upgrade, including GNOME, KDE, and windowmaker. -- Bob McDonald
