Which one of these two is the correct version?
Hello FreeBSD Gnome users, I have been a KDE user because gnome installation/upgrade presents such a pain to me most of the time. Today I decided to upgrade gnome from 2.24 -- 2.26 but decided to visit the gnome pages first to see what is said. This is after looking at /usr/ports/UPDATING and not seeing much to do with this particular upgrade. Now, there are two pages, and both of them seem upto date, but they have conflicting information: 1.http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq212.html#q2 - says that *NOTE: Do notrun portupgrade(1) to upgrade to GNOME 2.26!** *and goes on to say one should use the gnome-upgrade.sh script, which seems to NOT exist in the links. 2. http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq226.html#q2 - says you should use the following steps: (a) pkgdb -Ff (Remove gnome-volume-manager.)
