Gnome ports puzzlemnet
I cvsup'd the ports tree on one of my machines today, and was trying to build a Gnome related port. I recived a warning message pointing to: http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/develfaq.html And saying that failure to follow the instructions there would result in brekage of my Gnome apps. What puizzles me, si that this page sesm to be about updating to the development version of Gnome, I want to stay with the stable version. The machine is at 4.9 STABLE.
