The FreeBSD GNOME team presents a Glib and Gtk+ 3 update.
This update updates Glib20 to 2.36 and Gtk+ 3.8 * The gio-fam-backend port that used gamin for the GFileMonitor API is gone. It is replaced by a GIO kqueue implementation developed as part of a NetBSD GSoC 2011 project by Dimitry Matveev. * Fix a bug in the glib20 Makefile so it includes -lintl in the glib-2.0 pkgconfig file [1]. This broke static linking and newer binutils. * Add introspection USE_GNOME component which sets GI_SCANNER_DISABLE_CACHE to prevent creation of / root/.cache dir. Defaults to build & run depend, but :build and :run switches available. * New x11-toolkits/pangox-compat port and companion USE_GNOME component for pangox support which was removed from the pango port. Add it to ports still using pangox API. Exp-run by: bapt@ PR: ports/178958 [1] Submitted by: emaste@ [1]

+ AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The devel/gio-fam-backend port was removed in the glib 2.36 update.
+ Since the gio-fam-backend port was used in USE_GNOME=glib20, all
+ dependencies need to rebuilt. The removal of gio-fam-backend isn't critical,
+ glib20 using programs should work just fine if the port is still installed.
+ It is not clear however, if glib20 will use the new kqueue backend or the old
+ fam backend.
+
+ Note that users of pkg packages can just run the pkg delete command after
+ there next update.
