--- Comment #5 from Chris Hutchinson <portmaster@bsdforge.com> ---
You raise some good points, all of which I too
considered before embarking on this. After all
it would be a lot less work for me to just use
the 07x version on guithub. ;)
But like I said; I prefer the python version,
and given that the author isn't using the 06x
version numbers in any way. I think all will
be well.

As to (potential) confusion; I should probably
add a note in the README && other assorted
documentation indicating that the 06x version(s)
are a diversion from the authors tree. I also
thought it be useful to create a
font-manager-devel, or font-manager-vala on
the ports(7) tree.
That tracks the 07x+ version(s).

As to pygtk2 && gnome-doc-utils; I know. I
took a chance, and *surprisingly* it all still
worked with py3x. But I wanted to address gnome@
to see what, if any direction they were planning
considering py27 has already been EOLd, and
the portsmgr indicates it removel is on the
horizon. Gnome themselves still appear to be
developing them. So either *they* update, or
I pull only what's absolutely required, and
incorporate it into the port source. The
gnome-doc-utils is only needed for the build;
to create the docs. So I may well be able to
simply generate the docs, and incorporate them
in their built form.

Anyway. As you've already stated; I've still
got some work yet to do on all this. So I'll
get back to it. :)

Thanks for your input!
