Description
I just updated zenity to 2.32.1 in r77614 but I see that zenity 3.0.0 is available since yesterday. I wasn't sure if we can just update to it, or whether it has other implications, since it requires gtk3...

The port is now zenity @3.14.0, so this ticket probably became irrelevant. Can we close this?

Yes, gtk2 and gtk3 now peacefully co-exist and the majority of gnome2 ports have been upgraded to recent gnome3 versions.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
I'd prefer not to upgrade gnome related ports to version 3 level until the gnome package as a whole works properly at that level. Currently the gnome ports are (in general) at the 2.30.3 level and have not progressed to the final 2.32 revision due to the transition from gconf to gsettings with both gconf and dconf as possible back ends. This has wide reaching effects.
In addition, since gnome3 relies heavily on the new gnome-shell which requires hardware accelerated 3D rendering to work properly, I'm not sure whether gnome3 will work on Apple platforms as a whole. Lots of discussion on other platforms pro and con on other platforms that are making this transition (Fedora 15 Alpha for instance). Without the 3D acceleration it goes into "fallback mode" which seems much less desireable than gnome2.
Most importantly, the gtk3 port as it currently exists conflicts with gtk2 and so moving any gnome ports to gtk3 will break all the other gtk2 based ones. This should be fixable as the gtk folks claim that gtk3 can install side by side with gtk2 without ill effects and other distros are doing this successfully.
So lets move ahead cautiously and think about the whole rather than ports one by one before we get in a big mess.
