Description Olivier Duchateau 2025-05-09 16:57:26 UTC 
Recently bapt@ updated some GNOME ports, here the continuation.

I can't submit my patch to review.freebsd.org, because it finds "exception".

I know this is a massive update in order to update the full GNOME desktop to 47 [1].

I'm aware, it exists a stable 48 branch, but the 47 release is still maintained by upstream up to 2025-09-13 [2].

Global changes:
- Update to the latest 47.x releases (or the latest)
- Adjust MASTER_SITES variable (see review D43183)
- Adjust WWW entry, link to wiki pages will be retired [3]
- Fix LICENSE

Changes in Mk/Uses/gnome.mk
- Add libgda6 review D40489
- Rename nautilus3 → nautilus4 (and adjust consumers)
- Add new C++ bindings (cairomm11, gtkmm40, pangomm24)
- Remove metacity

Comment 2 Olivier Duchateau 2025-05-09 17:05:56 UTC 
Add following teams:
- portmgr@, because this patch touches Mk/bsd.sites.mk review D43183 and Mk/Uses/gnome.mk
- deskopt@, because it requires to commit others ports.
Comment 3 Mathieu Arnold freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2025-05-10 07:16:47 UTC 
portmgr has no lock on Mk/bsd.sites.mk, as its maintainer line tells.
Comment 4 Olivier Duchateau 2025-05-24 16:52:23 UTC 
Update the full patch, with following changes:

databases/evolution-data-server: 3.56.2

mail/evolution 3.56.2
mail/evolution-ews 3.56.2

multimedia/totem 43.2 (bug #286997)

www/epiphany 47.7

In meta port (x11/gnome) x11/gnome-console is now default terminal (better support with GNOME Shell)

Rewrite xprofile (x11/gnome-shell), it is shell script which provides variables environment and creates hidden directories for session.
