The glib and gtk library/header config programs are currently placed on the FreeBSD filesystem as glib12-config and gtk12-config respectively. This was applicable when these files were required among multiple versions of GTK 1, but with the release of GTK 2.0, the configuration mechanisms are completely separate, and there is no longer a real need to rename the glib12-config and gtk12-config scripts. This change would not affect all currently compiled GTK applications, and would simply require a tweak of bsd.gnome.mk to change every port dependent upon these two programs. How-To-Repeat: Install gtk 1.2.10 from the ports tree.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports->gnome Over to maintainers.
Is there some pressing reason to do this other than making it look cleaner? I'm not trying to be antagonistic, just don't want to introduce breakage in the nether regions of the ports tree if it's not a critical thing. Thanks.

State Changed From-To: open->closed Fixed, but in a different way. The xxx12-config files remain, but they are now symlinks to their xxx-config counterparts. Thanks for reporting.
