For a week or so now, a new make option has existed to help keep people from overwriting their GNOME desktop version when installing certain ports. This option is called GNOME_DESKTOP_VERSION (similar to XFREE86_VERSION). It accepts one of two values: 1 or 2. If you want to or are using the GNOME 2 desktop, you should add: GNOME_DESKTOP_VERSION=3D 2 To /etc/make.conf. Likewise, if you want to or are using the GNOME 1 desktop, add: GNOME_DESKTOP_VERSION=3D 1 To /etc/make.conf. This macro is entirely optional, put can help you from accidentally installing a port designed for the other desktop (i.e. the one you're not using), thus overwriting components such as gnome-panel. With this option set, you may see things such as: =3D=3D=3D> gnomepilot-0.1.71 is marked as broken: gnomepilot wants to use = the GNOME 1 desktop, but you wish to use the GNOME 2 desktop.. This means that if you install this port on your system it will either not work as expected, or it will damage your currently installed GNOME desktop. Porters should not worry about this option. No one should add this to their port's Makefile. More documentation on the bsd.gnome.mk changes is forthcoming. Please send all questions or comments to freebsd-gnome@freebsd.org. Thanks.
