Allright guys, I want to talk about something people really don't like to discuss.. deprecating something from the next gnome builds and other builds from here on out.
ESD, it's old. Unmaintained and other solutions are much better. The ESD CVS module hasn't been touched for about two years and is horridly broken in many ways. Yet every package that CAN use it in the pacman repositories do. Now I normally just rebuild the packages that need it and go about my day but lately when building gnome packages I allways get a bail out resulting in this.. libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libesd.la' Which tells me some gnome package was compiled with esd seen but I honestly don't know which. While I COULD recompile every gnome package on my system I'd rather not and I think this is something that should've been done a long time ago. I'd gladly help with this effort if it will be approved by the powers that be. But seriously this is bound to happen sooner or later. Let's just make it sooner. -miqorz _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
