Quoting Michael Johnson <ah...@freebsd.org> (from Sun, 8 Jun 2008 21:35:35 -0500):
I guess we should come up with a list of things we want in the 'easy GNOME setup port'. I suggest we start a wiki/todo page so others can add their ideas/plans.
Good idea.
What we would need (IMHO): - .desktop files for stuff which hasn't one (back in the 2.6 days, I started a port for this, see http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/misc-desktop-files-2.6.1.tar.bz2 for some rudimentary stuff)
itetcu was also looking at creating entries by default for ports. I wrote a program for him to extract PNG images from arbitrary executables, so something may come from this. I do agree having additional desktop files for common GNOMEish apps (e.g. Wireshark) would be nice.
- optional automatic config of the system (adding rc.conf stuff, maybe usermount sysctl stuff, ...)
This is easy as we can adopt some of the niceties done by PC-BSD (e.g. default PolicyKit.conf, devfs config, sysctls, etc.).

Bye, Alexander.
