+This file documents some of the problems you may encounter when
+upgrading your ports. We try our best to minimize these disruptions,
+but sometimes they are unavoidable.
+
+You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each
+time you update your ports collection, before attempting any port
+upgrades.

+ AFFECTS: All GNOME users and ports depend on gnomehier
+ AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
+
+ GNOME has been updated to 2.20.1. All ports that depend on gnomehier have
+ been moved from share/gnome/ to share/. A few of stuff are remind in the
+ share/gnome/ that are default from ports' tarballs. To know which
+ directories that have or haven't been move can be view in
+ misc/gnomehier/files/dirlist. To upgrade your installed ports, you will
+ need to use either sysutils/portupgrade or sysutils/portmaster.
+
+ Portupgrade users:
+ # pkgdb -Ff
+ # portupgrade -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
+ # portupgrade -a
+
+ Portmaster users:
+ # portmaster -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
+ # portmaster -a
+
+ If some of icons, applets or else have been disappered from your desktop in
+ this upgrade, you will need to remove and re-add these stuff to make them
+ appear in your desktop again due to change path.
+
+ If you have some themes that was installed by manual (not done by ports or
+ packages), then you will have to move from share/gnome/ to share/ by manual.
