As with previous releases of GNOME, we took the 2.19 development cycle to implement a FreeBSD-internal change. This time, we collapsed the share/gnome/ hierarchy down to just share/ (*). This greatly simplifies porting efforts, and should also pre-squish any prefix-related bugs. The downside of this change is that it is huge as it affects all ports that rely on gnomeprefix. This means that while GNOME 2.20.0 is now available for FreeBSD in MarcusCom CVS (see http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/develfaq.html), it will not be hitting the ports tree for a while longer. We need to run a full pointyhat build with our local patches to make sure we haven't missed anything. Once that is successfully completed, you can expect GNOME 2.20, and all of the related changes to come flooding in to a cvsup server near you. In the meantime, packages for i386 and amd64 are being built (http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q21), and we still need those users running 2.20 to provide us some cool screenshots. (*) For 2.22, we're thinking of changes all references of GNOME to SMURF to see if anyone notices.
