GNOME is a desktop environment and graphical user interface + that runs on top of a computer operating system. GNOME is part + of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like + operating systems, including &os;.

+ +

Preperations for merging GNOME 3 are moving forward. The + work on the documentation is falling behind a bit, but we got + some solid feedback on the rough work to keep this moving + forward as well. In the meantime, deprecation of ports that + need the old GNOME 2 desktop ports has begun. These ports + will break when the GNOME desktop components are updated to the + GNOME 3 version.

+ +

Thanks to a combined effort by Ryan Lortie (GNOME developer), + Ting-Wei Lan (upstream contributor), and &a.kwm;, we now have a + &os;-powered JHbuild tinderbox. JHbuild is a build system that + lets building GNOME upstream code. It will attempt twice a day + to build gnome components from a specific branch, which is the + git master branch most of the time, in order to catch compile + issues. A positive side effect of this is that it lets upstream + know GNOME still lives on other systems than Linux. It also + exposes the GNOME code base to the Clang compiler and + libc++. Since the start of this project over a hundred + issues have been fixed.

+ +

Gustau Perez has stepped up and put together a port set in the + ports-experimental tree of our developement repository + with GNOME 3.12. It was decided to polish GNOME 3.12. It will + be merged when the preparation work has (mostly) finished, and + we are happy with the stability of GNOME 3.12.

+ +

Gustau Perez also ported Cinnamon 2.0 to &os;. It will appear + in the Ports Collection after GNOME 3 has been merged.

+ +

MATE 1.8 was released at the beginning of April, Eric Turgeon + of GhostBSD is volunteered to do that update for &os;. Note + that this update is still based on GTK+, version 2. The + GTK+ 3-based MATE is on the roadmap for 1.10.
