#42035: gnome-utils: port outdated, replaced by new individual GNOME packages,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gnome-utils is outdated and has not been updated since GNOME 3.2.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current GNOME 3.10 distribution, it has been replaced by individual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building of the outdated equivalent of your port, add your port in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.
