=== Pantheon desktop on FreeBSD Links: + link:https://elementary.io/[elementary OS] URL: link:https://elementary.io/[https://elementary.io] + link:https://codeberg.org/olivierd/freebsd-ports-elementary[Development repository] URL: link:https://codeberg.org/olivierd/freebsd-ports-elementary[https://codeberg.org/olivierd/freebsd-ports-elementary] Contact: Olivier Duchateau <[email protected]> The Pantheon desktop environment is designed for elementary OS. It builds on GNOME technologies (such as Mutter, GTK 3 and 4) and it is written in Vala. The goal is to have a new desktop for users. *13.1-RELEASE or higher is required*, because several core components depend on package:deskutils/xdg-desktop-portal[]. The repository contains Mk/Uses framework `elementary.mk`, official applications, and curated ports which depend on package:x11-toolkits/granite[]. Since the previous report, we have been updating its related ports, especially: * package:deskutils/elementary-calendar[] https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267797[update to 6.1.2] * package:deskutils/iconbrowser[] * package:graphics/elementary-photos[] * package:math/elementary-calculator[] * package:multimedia/elementary-videos[] * package:x11/elementary-terminal[] * package:x11-themes/gnome-icons-elementary[] * package:x11-toolkits/granite7[]. Power manager plugins for top panel (wingpanel) and control center (switchboard) are finished. A new switchboard plugin is also available, package:net/switchboard-plug-sharing[]. Ported *Rygel*, GNOME UPnP/DLNA services. Submitted other patches for low level libraries such as: * package:print/cups-pk-helper[] https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=266067[update to 0.2.7] required by package:print/switchboard-plus-printers[] * package:devel/libgee[] https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=266585[update to 0.20.6] heavily used by the desktop * package:sysutils/polkit[] update to 122 (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D37137[D37137]) * package:sysutils/accountsservice[] update to 22.08.8 (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D37679[D37679]). ==== Open tasks * Improve documentation. * Continue to work on user settings.
