Dear fellow developers, I have now compiled the central packages of gnome-1.0. The upload, just now, of 'gnome-core' marked the end of the first stage. I'd like to thank everyone who helped out, especially by providing CPU cycles for me to compile on, and Jim Pick for writing the packaging scripts which have held up flawlessly in the new release.
I'd now like all developers who maintain packages which depend on gnome or imlib (if's it really just gtk, then that's not a problem) to point their apts at the following apt site, and recompile with the new libs. deb http://www.debian.org/~jules/gnome-stage-2 unstable main The tree there is currently i386 dominated, but we have a powerpc porter and a sparc porter compiling as I speak. When your packages are you compiled *do* *not* upload them to potato, but upload them to va somewhere. If you wish to install them yourself in the above tree, then simply cd ~jules/gnome-stage-2 ./jinstall /path/to/my/packages/*.* ./jscanpacks Please make full source uploads if you're the maintainer, or binary-only if you're porting. In any case, include the changes file (jinstall keeps the changes file in a special directory). Do not upload glibc2.1 compiled packages here! They won't work for slink people. If you don't have time, or have already commited to glibc2.1, please post to [email protected], asking for someone to NMU your package. All discussion of the staging area should be on [EMAIL PROTECTED] My thanks for your attention, Jules Bean [trim -announce from follow-ups] /----------------+-------------------------------+---------------------\ | Jelibean aka | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 6 Evelyn Rd | | Jules aka | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Richmond, Surrey | | Julian Bean | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TW9 2TF *UK* | +----------------+-------------------------------+---------------------+ | War doesn't demonstrate who's right... just who's left. | | When privacy is outlawed... only the outlaws have privacy. | \----------------------------------------------------------------------/
