I have a question about Gnome. We have Chapter 33, GNOME Core Packages, with several subsections:
Libraries Shell Extras Utilities Shell Fallback OS Services Are all these really required to get a basic gnome desktop? I especially wonder about "Extras". On the other hand, when we look at Chapter 34, GNOME Additional Packages, are all the packages in Core required? I would assume that the dependencies referenced in each package would be sufficient, but that isn't stated explicitly. It looks like some do not make any sense without a gnome environment (e.g. gnome-video-effects-0.3.0), but others may well be run under kde or other shell (e.g. GNOME Games). Perhaps a more thorough evaluation of the gnome organization in the book is needed, or at least some additional explanation in the introduction. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
