I know that this plugin is optional, but it's also a plugin that everyone will want to use. But libgda-4.0 is not API/ABI stable and (based on previous libgda history) is not likely to be at any predictable time. So this could make life difficult for packagers. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
