In the meantime, you can get to it from my CVS tree at http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi. For those without CVS access, I have periodic tarballs made, and are downloadable from the same URL. You should also download the marcusmerge script to aid in merging my ports tree with the official tree. If you already have a copy of the script, download it again. Things have changed. =20 I would like to thank the entire GNOME team for their outstanding work on the new features in GNOME 2.4.0 as well as their willingness to incorporate so many FreeBSD-specific patches. I would also like to thank our own FreeBSD GNOME team. Without adamw@ and bland@, GNOME 2.4.0 would not be possible. And without GNOME team members both past and present such as sobomax@, ade@, vanilla@, nakai@, and others I'm sure I've missed, GNOME on FreeBSD would not be what it is today. Also, thanks to our GNOME users and GNOME 2.3 testers. Without their invaluable patches, bug reports, and nagging, I'm sure things would be quite broken. For the official GNOME 2.4.0 release notes, feature list, and screenshots, please see http://www.gnome.org/start/2.4/. For all your GNOME on FreeBSD needs, please see http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/.
