OK, I've dug out my notes from last october, but all those say is that the new version didn't seem to be properly released and was only in fedora (fc12). Looking at fedora cvs, it was a git pull from 20090913 and according to them depended on pam, eggdbus, gobject-introspection, console-kit. I've already expressed my reluctance to touch pam, with the old policykit that isn't necessary (there is a patch!). If I have time, I'll take another look now that it is properly released and used by more distros. I've certainly got to add -introspection to what I build for 2.30. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
