Well, hold on there!
The commits that I made today were to my test branch not the main port tree. Since there are many inter-dependencies between the various GNOME ports and several of the updated dependencies are incompatible with the current version, its better to get things worked out off line and then commit the changes in a compatible batch. As you can see, the current stable version of yelp is 3.8.1 and unfortunately it continues to rely heavily on X11 mechanisms as do some of the dependencies so an official quartz version continues to be iffy for now. However, you can always hack at it for yourself. I'm trying, but I don't really know how all this stuff works yet. Even the quartz patch that I made for the old yelp seemed a bit temperamental based on what I installed first, without just throwing xorg-libX11 at it (a quick-fix, but defeats the purpose of +quartz, and a bit sketchy). Basically, I just thought that since you have a working version, never mind my version. For those interested in my GNOME-3 test branch (testing with feedback is appreciated) you can access it via svn
{{{ cd ~/macports svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/users/devans/GNOME-3/stable/dpor... cd ~/macports/dports portindex }}}
then add a reference to it as a local repository in your sources.conf file '''before''' the default one. The entries in the sources.conf file should look something like this
{{{ file:///Users/devans/macports/dports rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default] }}}
the newer ports in the test tree will override the ones in the default tree.
Give it a try and let me know how it works (works for me anyway). Awesome, I didn't know I could do that; much better than copy-pasting. I've just been going off of what Archlinux, FreeBSD or Linux From Scratch document, which doesn't always work. And yes, I've come to see that these interdependencies are rather subtle and sneaky; probably why I can't get gnome-chemistry-utils to work properly either.
