Development
This pages describes things that should be followed while tracking development versions and importing new versions for GTK+ and or GNOME into the ports tree.
Except for a few exceptions, the GTK+ and GNOME stacks use even numbers for stable releases and uneven for development releases.
The FreeBSD GNOME Team uses https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports-gnome as the repo for tracking new GNOME releases and tracking development versions. The development is done in the branches named after the theme of the work. If a development version is tracked, then the next stable version is used for the branch name. For example GNOME and GTK+ are released together so they are in the same branch, like gnome-3.24. The master branch is used to track vanilla FreeBSD ports so it very easy to compare the work against what is in ports.

Updating into ports
There are two big parts, the GTK part and the GNOME part.
- GTK contains glib,gtk and gtkmm (c++ bindings) and the likes.
- GNOME part contains GNOME desktop components, like gnome-shell, mutter but also gvfs for example.
Required steps
- Exp-run is required.
- GTK+ 3 upgrades tend to break themeing. Ports that need attention are listed in the table below.
List of ports that need to be "synced" for new GTK+ versions.

Update Groups
The groups below should be updated together.
Glib/Gtk+
Not really needed to update these together, but it really handy. Also at least glib and gtk+ require a exp-run for minor bump to be done run before they can be updated. Patch level updates tend to be quite safe.
