FreeBSD deskutils : gdesklets

A framework for Gnome 2.x for desktop applets

 gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays
sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness.

Populate your desktop with status meters, icon bars, weather sensors, news
tickers... whatever you can imagine! Virtually anything is possible and maybe
even available some day.

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
contributors:

Pawel Worach

Franz Klammer
Yuri Pankov
Nick Barkas
Cristian KLEIN

- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
  supports them.  This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
  do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
  which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
  Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
  PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
  subdirectory detection.

devel/libgtop2 -> devel/libgtop

Rename this ports to use the real vendor package name. The advantage of this
is to allow our users' keyword search works and easier for users to file the
Bugzilla report when they use our name of ports. Debian, Gentoo, NetBSD and
other OSs have the correct package name, but not in our ports tree.

My team, FreeBSD GNOME Team, have agreed with it.

As for other ports, chase the rename.

Presenting GNOME 2.14.1 for FreeBSD!  Checkout
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/ for the official release notes, and a list
of all the gooides in this new release.  In particular, GNOME 2.14 focused
on performance, and they did not miss the mark.  There's some new eye candy,
but most of the big things are waiting until GNOME 2.16.  On the FreeBSD
side, we tried to clean up all the crashers we could.  In particular, we
really improved GNOME's 64-bit support.

The good news is that this release does not bring any big shared library
version bumps, so you can almost do a simple portupgrade to get to 2.14.
There are a few minor gotchas that will be documented in UPDATING shortly.

The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like th thank the following users for their
patches, feedback, and sometimes incessant complaing about crashes (you
know who you are).

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order.  The code present
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.

Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...

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.

Update to 0.22.

This update is a collaboration between the maintainer and myself, the
libdesklets part isn't finished and needs a little more debugging (RAM
and boottime display).
Unfortunately we also have a problem with threads (they get created, but
they don't run/start) which we can't track down, so it's not easy to
debug the remaining libdesklets bugs.

We decided to commit the port in the current incarnation as at least the
desklets which I will commit shortly after this update will work without
problems.
