Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD. The official

GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ .  Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).

The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy.  We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD.  This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.

This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully.  Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).

The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and

+  AFFECTS: All GNOME users and ports depend on gnomehier
+  AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
+
+  GNOME has been updated to 2.20.1. All ports that depend on gnomehier have
+  had their DATADIR moved from share/gnome/ to share/ (e.g.
+  ${LOCALBASE}/share/gnome/ to ${LOCALBASE}/share/).
+  This puts the FreeBSD GNOME ports more in line with the default
+  GNOME installation hierarchy. To find the specific directories that
+  have changed, see misc/gnomehier/files/dirlist. To upgrade your
+  installed ports, you will need to use either sysutils/portupgrade or
+  sysutils/portmaster.
+
+    Portupgrade users:
+        # pkgdb -Ff
+        # portupgrade -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
+        # portupgrade -a
+
+    Portmaster users:
+        # portmaster -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
+        # portmaster -a
+
+  If some of icons, applets, themes or other customized items have
+  disappered from your desktop in this upgrade, you will need to
+  remove and re-add these items to make them appear again due to the
+  DATADIR change.
