Now that this seems to be working reliably ("seems to be" because it will probably crash as soon as I post this), a question on how we should build it (It seems pointless for me to measure the build using differnet options from what will be in the book).Upstream changed to using cairo-gtk3 as the default a little while ago, but we are still defaulting to cairo-gtk2. I would prefer to follow upstream and use gtk3. Note that I will be uploading a patch to fix it for gtk-3.20 (changes in gtk mean the scrollbar sliders no longer appear without the patch) - this will be *required* (it has been accepted upstream). I would also like to upload - and mention (as *optional*) a patch to allow people to use system graphite2 and system harfbuzz : gentoo have been using this for a couple of releases, but it is stuck waiting for review at mozilla (the bug was originally raised a long time ago). Objections ? Comments ?
Do what you think best. If we need to change it, we can always update it. We still have over two months until package freeze.
