Announcing GNOME 2.4.0 for FreeBSD
FreeBSD's Joe Marcus Clarke says that GNOME 2.4.0 is now available for FreeBSD. Unfortunately, due to timing issues with 4.9-RELEASE, it will not make it into the official ports tree until after 4.9 is released (looks like early October right now). In the meantime, you can get to it from his CVS tree at http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi. For those without CVS access, he has periodic tarballs made, and are downloadable from the same URL. You should also download the marcusmerge script to aid in merging his ports tree with the official tree. If you already have a copy of the script, download it again. Things have changed.

Unfortunately, due to timing issues with 4.9-RELEASE, it will not make
it into the official ports tree until after 4.9 is released (looks like

CVS tree at http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi. For those

I would like to thank the entire GNOME team for their outstanding work
on the new features in GNOME 2.4.0 as well as their willingness to
incorporate so many FreeBSD-specific patches. I would also like to
thank our own FreeBSD GNOME team. Without adamw@ and bland@, GNOME
2.4.0 would not be possible. And without GNOME team members both past
and present such as sobomax@, ade@, vanilla@, nakai@, and others I'm
sure I've missed, GNOME on FreeBSD would not be what it is today. Also,
thanks to our GNOME users and GNOME 2.3 testers. Without their
invaluable patches, bug reports, and nagging, I'm sure things would be
quite broken.
For the official GNOME 2.4.0 release notes, feature list, and
screenshots, please see http://www.gnome.org/start/2.4/ For all your
GNOME on FreeBSD needs, please see http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/
