A bit of FAQ: Q: There is problem with pkg-plist. A: Yes, I know about that. The reason why I leave complete @dirrm in the pkg-plist, so that way I can comparing what's the most common @dirrm for I can create matehier (like gnomehier). Q: When will MATE ports merge into FreeBSD ports tree. A: Even thought if I finished everything with MATE. It won't be merged into FreeBSD ports tree unless I get more people to help me with the MATE project. Right now, I am only a person that work on MATE. I prefer to be least three people. Q: If there is problem, where do I report to? Send a PR? A: Please no PR. I hate GNATS, but we should use it when MATE merges into FreeBSD ports tree though. For now, just send me an email or gn...@freebsd.org. Q: Does MATE conflicts with GNOME 2/3? A: No, it's complete parallel even in the ~/.* too. Q: Why you won't check on GDM? A: Because it's a GNOME applications and I do not want to install any extra dependency. :-) But if MATE folks fork the GDM and yes I will work on it. Q: Is it easy to use MATE with GDM? A: I think it should be easy as MATE does provide session files. I think GDM will pick up that session and add in the list for which desktop you want to log in. Q: Does the http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html works for MATE? A: Yes, most of them. Same goes for HAL: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html Cheers, Mezz -- mezz.free...@gmail.com - m...@freebsd.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gn...@freebsd.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
