And Gtk+2 update is in, along with two cleanups (removal of now useless no_gnome flavors in librsvg and libgsf, which were mostly breaking bulk builds). Ports knowing to break with it have been fixed, but there may be others.. next bulk will tell. Parts of gnome are known to be temporarly not building, but jasper and antoine are working on it too. Gtk2mm and ports depending on it (namely databases/mysql-administrator, databases/mysql-query-browser, devel/libglademm,-main, editors/subtitleeditor, emulators/vba, productivity/workrave, graphics/inkscape, x11/gnome/libgnomemm and x11/gnome/libgnomecanvasmm) are temporarly broken, but will be fixed soon. The gtk2mm update involves first fixing libstdc++ with a missing template, import of pangomm (which has been splitted out of gtk2mm) and finally updating gtk2mm. Lots of diffs stacked on top of each others since a bit of time.. Thanks again to everyone who sponsors directly or indirectly the project, this would never have been possible without p2k8. Landry
