I will continue to deal with building in /opt for Xorg, Gnome, JDK, and also KDE and OpenOffice (if I ever get around to them). Xorg hasn't been much of an issue, and we had almost all of the Gnome stuff fixed. I was watching when I could and am fairly sure that Wayne's updates had all of the issues covered for an /opt build of Gnome...assuming that you follow the book to the letter. I am working my way through a new 32bit build right now and will validate just because it's time for a new build, though I'm probably going to use 2.30.2 (so probably little value). At some point, I'm going to have to jump to a 64 bit build. I'm also not gonna jump on Gnome 3.x right at release, it can incubate for a tiny releases or two I think. There will also be many other package updates along the way. Anybody have notes to share on 2.30 so far? BTW, Ken, thanks for the IceWeasel mention the other day, I actually hadn't heard of it before now. Gonna give IceWeasel and IceDove a shot on this build. Do symlinked .pc files do the trick for packages looking for FireFox? I'd imagine that they would, but having not tried them yet... - -- DJ Lucas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJML6kVAAoJEIUM+xKzBYsICxMP/1xIjJJEfYVWyMX4EN6lfR5W sq1vW4ZbSEWGjwJKXixNAqaNKmVUA5wVGYtZGv9vIhbs66vHeRjNRXRxMeDC167U pbTe/PGpXjI2hX5ZrnvcZAYT1KKZAhPgYxP/RJoPavcF+zg0aXIL3cbyWH4Ynwro h/E43i/N5GUDQBwWLZHoHDYxhWZnx6FFFMLkTIbyEQFGXiVYaiQYy0nDSZc2OgHH QJ/Qtsdv08ryXBH5WeYphnRB+iBDiCOZrH0NvpA6yJZ8yVEmcHstj7DF1YL8Drkj hj3kwPGMHKmUaG+MFYuoRNXqauGT6x4yxor18VoDoXa3tqHP0273NVLxmaplBXz/ 4U9DwrzX3taOsi+cNlAjhrJZd5LjhkkNlkLSkh7ymwXQqooZQFWoL7X35hB89zps YTWMWVbCUFKCwRDXwIsE43FFAkVZVP83W2PsKyhUvq16Jp/re3z5Ij2fyLlEsAwE tUVuhSgCEm/8ihzmt8exZ19JQmZJ8dklFzokAzrg+9YwF6QnXdoTim2gyjg4TDtR yKo/tWJYZTuagx7v87nA0LFOuD9hNYht/DAIVFfK59UjF5eMVkUfmzFHFnUCITv6 H0SQymdVTqgiru6tJNOgMxOvZWj+wCfSPamSTQFU8aKJnz20KGVgDCjLLBaWJOkQ aolPr/dTrylZbzTq9Cjc =Ie/M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
