This will greatly help when updating to the upcoming 4.6. Also shrinks a lot
port Makefiles, which will be soon converted to use it.

GVFS is a replacement for GnomeVFS, the GNOME Virtual File System
GVFS consists of two parts: a shared library which is loaded by
applications supporting GIO and GVFS itself, a collection of daemons
which communicate with each other and the GIO module over D-Bus. This
moves the virtual file systems out of client processes, contrary to
GnomeVFS, but somewhat similar to KIO.
GVFS will eventually replace gnome-vfs2, as more and more applications
are ported to use GIO. In the meantime it remains unlinked from the builds.
Earlier version of this port created while enjoying good beer at FOSDEM.
Quite some patches are already accepted upstream in the meantime.

Ekiga (formely known as GnomeMeeting) is an open source VoIP and video
conferencing application for GNOME. Ekiga uses both the H.323 and SIP
protocols. It supports many audio and video codecs, and is interoperable
with other SIP compliant software and also with Microsoft NetMeeting.
It still needs some love but having it in-tree will ease people testing.
Some things are known not to be working yet...
Network part was intensively tested using the H.323 protocol through an
OpenBSD gnugk proxy, with Ekiga running OpenBSD/amd64 and a Polycom v500 as
endpoints.

The goal of DeskbarApplet is to provide an omnipresent versatile search

Seaches are handled by a series of plugins. DeskbarApplet provides a

results that fit your needs.

gtk-vnc provides a core library written in C, using coroutines to allow
it to be completely asynchronous while remaining single threaded. A
wrapper library using PyGTK provides access to the widget functionality
from Python. Two example programs illustrate use of the widget by

code.

The GNOME Keyring Manager is an application for managing keyrings, in
which any kind of sensitive information can be kept, mainly passwords.
The default window shows 'default' keyrings with their stored items, and
allows addition, removal and edition.
Secrets can be copied using drag and drop, and can also be moved between
different keyrings. The manager also has creation, opening and
lock/unlock features.

Highlights of Tk 8.5
* New modern theming engine: New and complementary widgets
that make use of platform-specific theming on Mac OS X and
Windows to better fit in with those environments, and
feature an improved look and feel under X11.
* New widgets: Part of the themed widget set, Tk now has
core notebook, combobox, treeview and progressbar widgets.
* text widget: Smooth scrolling, widget peering, and
improved procedures for counting and replacing text.
* Font rendering: Now uses anti-aliased text under X11, and
a more modern text engine (ATSUI) on Mac OS X.
* Additional improvements: Window transparency, new
fullscreen option for windows, enhancements to specific
widgets and window layout, and more.

* Create and/or salvage free and open TTF Arabic fonts.

distributions.
* To better couple and artistically match Arabic fonts to their latin

gtk-update-icon-cache is part of gtk+2: adding gtk+2 to run_depends just
to update the icon cache (which only gtk apps can use) is overkill to
say the least!
As from now, each time icons are installed under %D/share/icons, we try
to execute gtk-update-icon-cache and if it is not there, we just ignore
the error.
What it means is that if you have gtk+2 installed, then it'll run fine
and your apps will be able to use the cache. Otherwise, it will silently
fails which is fine since it means none of your apps would have been
able to take advantage of the cache anyway.

project consists of a C/GObject library upon which are built standalone
applications and plugins for various programs.
The application and plugins are called flegita.
Note:
gnome-scan is still in its early stage. It is not a drop-in

There's an issue with image enhancement which is being worked on
