I've got GNOME2.28 nearly ready to go to unstable. One major set of changes is that it revives fink's own fontconfig2 library (vs falling through to x11's) and makes fink's xft2 shared (had been static-only). This should solve a weird issue where packages tended to link to x11's xft2 and/or fontconfig (which link to x11's freetype) but also link to fink's freetype. So now it's possible to use fink-supplied libs self-consistently starting at freetype and going all the way up the dep tree. And gnome core libs strictly enforce that in themselves.
Now that .la data is cleared, making these newly invoked in low-level deps does not propagate all up the tree (no additional or different inherited builddepends), so nothing that wasn't broken before should become suddenly broken. Also as a result of .la cleaning is a general reduction of builddepends to only those that are actually directly used, which should make users and packagers of gnome-based packages slightly happier. All packages are also checked to make sure they weren't relying on that .la data (upstream sloppiness in linking), so some existing build failures in stable/unstable are fixed. This is totally untested on 10.[56], i386, or x86_64 and I don't know how (if at all) the fontconfig2 or xft2 packages need to be adjusted for these OSX's x11 variations.
