I'd intended to add a --disable-scrollkeeper-update configure option in gnome-doc-utils. Then any packages using gnome-doc-utils to build and install documentation would have it.

I'll get this in for 2.12 for sure. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
