Please install from packages from the Tinderbox.  They are up-to-date
with GNOME 2.6 minus the glib20 and gtk20 updates from yesterday.

I think a gnome_upgrade.sh would be a good idea.  I would also ask you
do this with packages just to see if there are any gotchas.  You should
be able to manipulate PORTUPGRADE_ARGS to get this to happen via
packages.  It might be nice to have some documentation for users when
2.8 comes out.  Note: the 2.7 packages are lagging a bit since I'm
waiting for 2.7.90 to be officially announced.  Thanks!

Joe
