You must be running > FreeBSD 5.3 or higher to get GNOME 2.12 support. Please let me clarily what 'this relese' means in this context. According to the HEADS UP alert of ports tree locking, PORTREVISION of more than 1100 ports are bumped to chase the update of glib20. Does it mean all of them are also no longer supported on 4.x? I'm not GNOME user and don't use typical GNOME applications such as nautilus or evolution on 4.x. So if 'this release' is limited to such GNOME specific one, There is no problem for me. But I use some applications on 4.x which depends on glib20 and/or gtk20 such as Firefox or Thunderbird. So it is very large impact on me if these applications also get non-support state on 4.x. --- KIMURA Yasuhiro
