Something similar to what we currently have? Well, right now, it's looking like this: x11/gnome-base the minimal amount of bloat in order to ensure that the GNOME environment functions correctly in a (possibly) non-GNOME window manager etc. (20 or so ports, not including generic stuff like gtk, esound, imlib etc..) x11/gnome depends on gnome-base, brings in more bloat for a standalone GNOME environment (including a window manager) x11/gnome-extras a convenience mechanism to bring in a whole bunch of other bits and pieces for the "full GNOME experience" The comparison with KDE is incorrect, since you're looking at the underlying widget set. The equivalent to QT in the GNOME world is GTK+, and you most certainly do not need to install all of GNOME to use that. > Cool. Can I help you test the changes?

Once I'm happy with the beta2 setup (ie: it compiles, and appears to run), I'll stick the patches, plus source tarballs (if you can't get them elsewhere -- the GNOME mirrors are, umm, being "reorganized" :) for other people to play with before doing the commit from hell and taking a 3 month vacation. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX. ade@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
