Are you sure? There are good pages on live.gnome.org about how to use jhbuild on Ubuntu and which packages you could need to install. Maybe, jhbuild *itself* means a lot of difficulties, it's not a tool for newcomers, whatever distro you could use. I fail to see how could was harder build gnome 3 from git using Fedora 14 (just an example) instead Ubuntu 10.10 as base system. The same software was on both distro (with different patches, of course) and both lacked the bleeding edge video card drivers needed to have a working GNOME Shell. > Before anyone misunderstands, I'd give the same advice about e.g. > Mandriva.

So, do we need a list of good/bad distro? :) Cheers, Luca _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
