=== Pantheon desktop on FreeBSD Links: + link:https://elementary.io/[elementary OS] URL: link:https://elementary.io/[] + link:https://codeberg.org/olivierd/freebsd-ports-elementary[Development repository] URL: link: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 complete desktop environment for end users. *13.2-RELEASE or higher is required*, because several core components depend on package:deskutils/xdg-desktop-portal[]. The repository contains a file called [.filename]#elementary.mk# for the [.filename]#Mk/Uses# framework, official applications, and curated ports which depend on package:x11-toolkits/granite7[]. I have submitted several patches in order to keep these ports up-to-date: * package:deskutils/iconbrowser[] * package:multimedia/elementary-videos[] * package:x11-themes/gnome-icons-elementary[] * package:editors/elementary-code[] The link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&query_format=advanced&short_desc=elementary-calendar%20elementary-terminal%20granite7&short_desc_type=anywordssubstr[bug reports] for updating the following ports are still open on bugzilla: * package:x11-toolkits/granite7[]: Update to 7.3.0 * package:deskutils/elementary-calendar[]: Update to 7.0.0 * package:x11/elementary-terminal[]: Update to 6.1.2 In the same time, I have also worked on updating the GNOME stack (especially WebKitGTK, libwnck, Mutter, Vala). I noticed several regressions particularly with package:x11/plank[] (it is related to monitoring open applications). Three new applications have been added to the development repository: * deskutils/atlas, a map viewer * deskutils/nimbus, a weather applet * audio/leopod, podcasts client
