The Pantheon desktop environment is designed for elementary OS. It builds on GNOME technologies (such as Mutter, GTK 3 and 4) and it is written in Vala. The goal is to have a complete desktop environment for end users.
13.2-RELEASE or higher is required, because several core components depend on deskutils/xdg-desktop-portal.
The repository contains a file called elementary.mk for the Mk/Uses framework, official applications, and curated ports which depend on x11-toolkits/granite7.
I have submitted several patches in order to keep these ports up-to-date:
The bug reports for updating the following ports are still open on bugzilla:
-
x11-toolkits/granite7: Update to 7.3.0
-
deskutils/elementary-calendar: Update to 7.0.0
-
x11/elementary-terminal: Update to 6.1.2
In the same time, I have also worked on updating the GNOME stack (especially WebKitGTK, libwnck, Mutter, Vala). I noticed several regressions particularly with x11/plank (it is related to monitoring open applications).
Three new applications have been added to the development repository:
-
deskutils/atlas, a map viewer
-
deskutils/nimbus, a weather applet
-
audio/leopod, podcasts client
