#42035: gnome-utils: port outdated, replaced by new individual GNOME packages,
maintainers wanted.
----------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  devans@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  request   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal    |  Milestone:
Component:  ports     |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:            |       Port:  gnome-utils
----------------------+--------------------------------
 gnome-utils is outdated and has not been updated since GNOME 3.2.  In the
 current GNOME 3.10 distribution, it has been replaced by individual
 packages for the utilities that have been carried forward.  This is a good
 opportunity for developers wanting to contribute to MacPorts' GNOME3
 coverage by contributing one or more of these missing ports.

 Utilities provided by the current gnome-utils port are

 {{{
 baobab
 gnome-dictionary
 gnome-font-viewer
 gnome-panel-screenshot
 gnome-screenshot
 gnome-search-tool
 gnome-system-log
 gnome-thumbnail-font
 }}}

 Equivalent packages provided in the current GNOME 3.10 distribution are
 {{{
 baobab (previously part of gnome-utils)
 gnome-dictionary (previously part of gnome-utils)
 gnome-font-viewer (previously part of gnome-utils)
 gnome-screenshot (previously part of gnome-utils)
 gnome-system-log (previously part of gnome-utils)
 }}}

 The following utilities are obsolete, are not provided by GNOME 3.10 and
 will disappear when gnome-utils is fully replaced
 {{{
 gnome-panel-screenshot
 gnome-search-tool
 gnome-thumbnail-font
 }}}

 If you are interested in responding to this request, I suggest the
 following procedure
   * Indicate your intent in a comment to this ticket
   * Create a new port for your submission.
   * To prevent a conflict, modify the existing gnome-utils port to disable
 building of the outdated equivalent of your port, add your port in
 depends_run and revbump.
   * Modify the existing gnome3-core port by moving your port from the
 commented list of unported packages to depends_lib and revbump.

 If you don't have commit privileges you can post your new Portfiles here
 for review and committal. Otherwise, post a comment here when you have
 completed the above steps.

 Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions and thanks for any
 help you can provide.
