in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

and new features. Don't believe me? Then see for yourself at

DO NOT USE portupgrade by itself to upgrade to GNOME 2.12. Instead, use
the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh. This script will
circumvent some potential pitfalls users can see if they use portupgrade
by itself.
In keeping with tradition, GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD comes with a special
splash screen. The winner of this release's contest is
Dominique Goncalves <dominique.goncalves@gmail.com>. His splash screen
was inspired by http://art.gnome.org/contests/2.12-splash/83.

- Fix the installation of error like this below by add graphics/netpbm in the
BUILD_DEPENDS.
pnmtopng: not found
pngtopnm: not found
pnmscale: not found
[...repeat...]
- Fix the ability of disable/enable xine, so you don't have to depend on xine
when the xine thumbnail plugin is disable (aka WITHOUT_XINE).
- Fix all of plugins/thumbnails build by add @LDFLAGS@ in each of
Makefile.in's LDFLAGS. That also make xine, music stuff and etc actually
work to create the thumbnails or/and do something.
- A few other fixes that make it builds better.
- Do not extract the CVS, now our filesystem and plist look prettier.
- Add new knobs:
WITH_DEBUG
WITH_ECORE_MAINLOOP
WITHOUT_EXTRACTOR
WITHOUT_ID3
WITHOUT_VORBIS
WITHOUT_XINE
Didn't add knobs for dbus, gnomevfs, avi and etc because they either doesn't
build or cause it crashes. As for KDE stuff like dcop and kio, I am lacking
to test them so someone will have to check and test it.
- Fix the plist.
- Bump the PORTREVISION.

fine without explicit version in there, while specifying it can
occasionally confuse (cf. ports/78527). Packages depend on specific
versions of Xaw3d and X libraries anyway and ports will get the right
version number through imake.
