the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port. Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version. To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.
For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

Bound to be hidden problems: You bet
ever. It fixes many bugs, and adds some features missing in previous
FreeBSD ports. To help users upgrade from GNOME 2.4, we have constructed an
upgrade FAQ at:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html
Please read it carefully. GNOME 2.6 packages are also available for all
supported i386 versions of FreeBSD at:

The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like the thank the following users for their
wonderful testing and patching efforts. We would especially like to thank
Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com> for his wonderful new splash screen.
Without these people, our team, and our team alumni, GNOME on FreeBSD would
not be possible.

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
future plans, etc., please see http://www.gnome.org/start/2.4/.

Without these contirbuters, and our faithful users, GNOME 2.4.0 would not
be possible.
Please check the FreeBSD GNOME site for any FreeBSD gotchas, as well as
general FAQs and documentation (GNOME 2.4 updates to be posted soon). The
best way to upgrade so that you get all shared library dependencies is:
portupgrade -rf -m BATCH=yes atk
portupgrade -R -m BATCH=yes gnome2

The GNOME 2.0 APIs can be installed right along with the GNOME 1.4 APIs, but
the desktops will be mutually independent. That is, you will not be
able to install gnomedesktop, for example, on the same machine as gnomecore.
However, you will be able to install the GNOME 2.0 desktop, and use all your
favorite GNOME 1.4 applications (like gaim, AbiWord, Evolution, etc.).
