Updating gnome 2.16 -> 2.18

Hi,

Running 3.1/i396, I want to update gnome. Reading chapter
22.3 in the 
Docs, I find it's no easy task. I thought there used to be a
script 
taking care of it. Am I correct (if yes: where can I find
it?)

Thanks,

Huub

I believe that updating gnome is really just a special case
of updating
to later pkgsrc.

I use pkgsrc/sysutils/pkg_rolling-replace to update.  It
largely does
what I want, and if you're comfortable building packages
from source it
may be helpful to you.   Basically it's a way to do 'make
replace' in
the right order for all packages needing to be rebuilt,
either because
they are out of date, or because a dependency was rebuilt.

I have been rebuilding gnome this way for a year with
basically good
results.
