However, the package collection at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages still does not contain all the packages necessary to install gnome on one's machine. Interestingly, although some of the packages necessary for a complete installation of gnome-1.2 are there, lots of others are missing. For example py-gnome-1.0.53, sawfish-0.28.1, gnome-1.2, are some of the packages that are missing. Unfortunately, installing gnome by compile the corresponding port by oneself takes a humongous amount of time. That is why it is desirable to have the corresponding package already available. >How-To-Repeat: Try 'pkg_add -r gnome-1.2' and see it fail. >Fix: Compile all the packages for gnome-1.2 and place them on the ftp site. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
