Doesn't this sort of thing deserve a mention in /usr/ports/UPDATING? Maybe it will all just build cleanly and run without config changes, but it sounds fairly sweeping... (My portmaster build stalled for a day or so because the cups-* Makefiles were clearly out of synch with the up-stream distfiles, but that seems to be OK, now...) > But, every GNOME team member (ahze, avl, bland, kwm, mezz, and myself) > contributed to this release.

I read in a GNOME blog, recently, that there are plans to make HAL go away, to be replaced by something even more inscrutible? That must make you all happy... Cheers and thanks again, -- Andrew
