[ rude words! - this was not what I wanted to hear ;-) ] There I was, thinking that once I'd measured a handful of other packages and prepared some diffs, I would be ready to start merging Wayne's gnome-3 work. I looked at autogen earlier today, before my cable connection went down, and decided that it was so obscure, with such tedious dependencies (not *totally* ridiculous, but enough to cause me to skip it). Now that I'm back online, I suppose I'll have to look at it. Several things puzzle me about this: 1. What uses it ? (I haven't looked at gnome-extras, or even all of the core packages, only enough to build a desktop with the apps I use). 2. Wayne said it was ok on LFS-6.8. Gentoo are using it without any patches. So : what has changed ? I see it is now at 5.14. Looks like more testing for me ;-) 3. Most puzzling for me, is how did you find this patch ? (google is increasingly useless for matching package/version/error-message these days, particularly when the package name matches many other usages). This is the first time I've managed to access anything from opensuse, and I still can't find a quick way to search for a package there, but I suppose I've got a start now, so thanks. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
