Comment:
I'd prefer not to upgrade gnome related ports to version 3 level until the
gnome package as a whole
works properly at that level. Currently the gnome ports are (in general)
at the 2.30.3 level and have not progressed to the final 2.32 revision due
to the transition from gconf to gsettings
with both gconf and dconf as possible back ends. This has wide reaching
effects.
In addition, since gnome3 relies heavily on the new gnome-shell which
requires hardware accelerated 3D rendering to work properly, I'm not sure
whether gnome3 will work on Apple platforms
as a whole. Lots of discussion on other platforms pro and con on other
platforms that are
making this transition (Fedora 15 Alpha for instance). Without the 3D
acceleration it goes
into "fallback mode" which seems much less desireable than gnome2.
Most importantly, the gtk3 port as it currently exists conflicts with gtk2
and so moving any
gnome ports to gtk3 will break all the other gtk2 based ones. This should
be fixable as
the gtk folks claim that gtk3 can install side by side with gtk2 without
ill effects and other
distros are doing this successfully.
So lets move ahead cautiously and think about the whole rather than ports
one by one before we
get in a big mess.
