Sorry to come in late to the conversation, but I just took a look at building libcanberra-0.6 on OS X (a place where gnome and esd presently build and work). My take is that libcanberra isn't yet mature enough as a project to become a required part of gnome.
It doesn't appear to have a homepage, it doesn't have a bug-tracking system that I can find (only a "discussion" mailing list that looks like just release announcements), and its build system hard-codes things that are non-portable to non-ELF platforms. These things are all fixable (and inter-related, especially the infrastructure issues) and I'd file bugs and submit patches if I knew where, etc. Even having it as an *optional* external support lib doesn't bother me (I'd just opt-out until I got it fixed enough locally:). But seems like this thing needs more testing and a gradual migration rather than to just toss it in and require it in any basic gnome components right away. Even fdo, where the underlying sound-theme spec is being handled, hasn't finished setting up infrastructure for the spec itself, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14469 so it seems premature to go full steam ahead on libcanberra. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
