Comment (by devans@…):

 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.

 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/dports
 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).
