there was a nasty little problem re Gentoo + Blackbox recently, when the developer responsible announced that he wanted to drop Blackbox, as it was ancient, unused, unsupported & unmaintainable. as i had just started to use Blackbox (wry smile) -- having had problems with Xfce4 & its increasingly unreliable devs -- , i set about enlightening the rather hysterical guy involved, apparently with some success, as he stopped ranting & someone else seems to have taken over the job, promising minimal changes. > I don't know about bbkeys, but Blackbox 0.65.x is definitely unsupported. > 0.70 will make its way into Gentoo when it releases a stable version > or you can pick up a CVS version and use it right now. > Same goes for bbkeys (use CVS). i'ld say it's important for Blackbox to make a good public announcement when 0.70 is finally ready for the big time, so that distros will adopt it. it would also help both users & distro managers, if Blackbox & its many disparate bits could be seen all together, preferably with a neat WWW site describing it properly. i know it takes work & might volunteer to do a bit myself, but my first impression of Blackbox was of deserted premises ... -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
