If this gets into gnome-common makefiles, make sure it can be disabled with an environment variable or a --disable-thing, since I don't want to end up hacking makefiles for this as we do with scrollkeeper now. For packaging it's not right to update these databases, either they appear in the package and conflict or overwrite a database generated in another package, or they rebuild your system's database if they have permission to do so (I build with user and fakeroot, so the last thing was never an issue with older automake standards) _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
