I don't use Gnome either, but I'd like to see it updated. The problem with building Gnome from my point of view is that it takes 36 packages to get the basic desktop running where KDE3 basically does it with 2 packages (KDE4 is definately not an improvment here). This obviously makes getting all the Gnome packages coordinated a bit of a problem. > Looking at Wayne's book, the longer anyone waits before merging it, > the bigger the task will be, so I'm offering to merge it. I'd say that anything done here is welcome as long as it's coordinated. However I'd like to know if others have any plans along this line. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
