Hi,

The ruby-gnome stuff is due for an update. I've got a patch here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~swills/ruby_gnome_0.90.9_update.diff.txt

Not included in that diff is the removal of these ports:

devel/ruby-gconf2
devel/ruby-gnomevfs
devel/ruby-libglade2
graphics/ruby-libart2
print/ruby-gnomeprint
www/ruby-gtkhtml2
x11-toolkits/ruby-gnomeprintui
x11-toolkits/ruby-gtkglext
x11-toolkits/ruby-panelapplet
x11/ruby-gnome2

These are to be removed because these modules are no longer included in
the upstream ruby-gnome distribution. Of those, these have dependencies:

devel/ruby-gconf2
devel/ruby-libglade2
x11/ruby-gnome2
x11-toolkits/ruby-panelapplet

Dependents include:

audio/ruby-musicextras
x11-themes/gnome-splashscreen-manager
x11-themes/gnome-art
science/gave
japanese/gsuica
deskutils/sshmenu

What should happen with these dependencies? Technically I can go ahead
and update the ruby-gnome dependencies, but that will break these ports.
Based on what I know, at best they will have to be rewritten and at
worst they will go away completely since the functionality they rely on
won't be supported by Gnome any more.

Thanks,
Steve
