Greetings,
I have created a installation script that will allow users to easily
install and configure the Gnome desktop on the FreeBSD platform.
You can view the documentation here:
www.scribd.com/doc/27366469/Gnome-Desktop-Installation-Script-For-FreeBSD
I am currently working on a hardening / lockdown script for Desktop
computers running FreeBSD.
Both scripts can be used on either i386 or amd64 platforms.
Any feed back would greatly be appreciated.
Dave

OK, here is one:
"Hello, you have an old version of Adobe Flash Player. To use iPaper
(and lots of other stuff on the web) you need to get the latest Flash

(in fact, I have none and I plan for it to stay that way)
Here is another one:

Thanks for taking care of it. By the way, about updating - some time
not so long ago, I remember Marcus asking for more user support, as
the FreeBSD Gnome team was supposedly stretchting pretty thin. If
that's not the case anymore, even better then, of course. I was just
under impression that there is probably not enough people to do all of
it, so taking care of few less-popular packages that I know I'm
actively using wouldn't be a bad thing.

We are spread thin, and we can always use help. The major work, though,
is typically with the first-time port or first-time minor version bump
update. After that, the micro revs are typically trivial.
But there are a lot of components to GNOME, and even bumping versions
and distinfos can get tiresome. GNOME 2.29.92 is imminent, so if you
want to jump in, and help with the updates, you are more than welcome to
do so.

Have you followed the steps at
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html#q6 to lock the device in
hal, and prevent access while burning your media?

The recommended workaround for gobject-introspection is to symlink
~/.cache/g-ir-scanner to /dev/null, or some locally mounted directory.

The kernel appears to be killing the process. This part of the build
can get quite CPU and memory intensive. Are there any errors in dmesg
which may give more of a clue as to why this is failing?

Thanks, I built the port as `root', whose home is local. But, in
general, a build, that uses anything outside the ${WRKDIR} is buggy...
Perhaps, all that's needed is some env-variable? Yours,

Yep, that's what I had in mind.
Are there any mechanisms in place to 'book' a particular set of
components that I'd plan to keep an eye on? To explain, there are two
particular issues that concern me.
First - I have, for example, no accessibility users (incl. myself), or
the whole tomboy/mono hilarity, or say, packagekit. While I probably
could blindly port the next release in queue, see if it builds, run
some plist checks, etc., I wouldn't be able to see if it actually
works, as in the best case scanario, I wouldn't have a clue about the
proper function of that component (so let's say, while I'm aware what
Orca is generally supposed to achieve, I have no idea about particular
details of a common accessibility users's setup and how he uses it. So
I might pretty much port a version that has "well, it seems to be able
to start" as the only working feature).
Second is the work duplication - obviously it doesn't to any good when
two people spent last few hours on a bunch of ports, then submit them
at about the same time, only to see that they both also duplicated
half of the work of each other (and I can only do that probably few
times a week, there are those usual "full time job / kids" issues). I
can imagine that especially first few days after a new Gnome release,
this would happen regularly without any "these ports are mine, don't
touch them" in place, so I presume there is something that deals with
it.
So that would be my question, how does one properly jump in without
running straight into those issues? I don't expect a badge and a
baseball cap, but I guess there is some kind of semi-internal memo
about proper work protocols that I should read before I start.

Not really. We hang out on IRC (on #freebsd-gnome on Freenode).
Usually what happens is that someone will say, "hey, is anyone working
on X?" If not, then that person will take the port. I typically
monitor ftp-release-list on http://lists.gnome.org, and work my way down
the list.

We operate in the same manner. While some of us can test certain ports,
we can't test them all. We do basic sanity checks, and rely on our
users who may be more familiar with how the ports should work to alert
us to problems.

IRC is probably the best.
