First off, I'm trying to work with the GNOME people to factor in our
release dates with there's, but we still have a long path to travel
before that is resolved.
Secondly, the FreeBSD/GNOME 1.4 port is now publically available for
download (see messages to -ports passim). Given the magnitude of
the changes, and the fact that it may very well have big consequences
to what goes on CD#1, I won't be committing GNOME 1.4 until after
4.3-RELEASE (current due date for the switch-of-death is 4/30/2001)
There are also still issues with the shiny new file manager, thus
providing another reason to hold back. I want this one to be a
quality release, before dealing with a few issues that will result
in 1.4.1 (which will be present on 4.4-RELEASE), before working on
the repo-copies from hell that will be GNOME 2.0
