Hi All
I thought that I'd install gnome 2.14 as I'd like to give orca a try. So I
looked on the gnome site, and found a list of packages to install 2.14. The
third package in the sequence is gnome-common. Which I first thought was a
vertual package. I looked via google and found that debian offered the source,
which happens to be 2.12.0. Thus I wondered why can't I find it on the gnome
site and why blfs doesn't include the package? As from the debian description,
it appears to my dim mind to be a useful package. Wondering if anyone of the
team can explain these confusing findings, more why gnome list it but I can't
find it on their site?
I'm not sure how much of it is really needed. Here's my listing of files:
/usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh
/usr/bin/gnome-doc-common
/usr/share/aclocal/gnome-common.m4
/usr/share/aclocal/gnome-compiler-flags.m4
/usr/share/gnome-common/data/omf.make
/usr/share/gnome-common/data/xmldocs.make
Most of those would only be needed if you were regenerating the
autotools, i.e. running autoreconf. I kept it around anyways just in
case, but I don't actually know which packages use these utilities.
And it looks like 2.12.0 is the latest version:
