GNUsteppers, thanks for all the help, the four core packages, respectively their 35 binary packages, of GNUstep are now available as Debian/Ubuntu packages:
https://launchpad.net/~mah-jump-ing/+archive/ppa Just add this PPA to your list of package sources, install them, and you have no longer a need to compile from source. Unless you want to work on one of the packages, of course. Please test. If there are ever details not working, please report them. Package naming (mostly) matches the older ones already in Debian, so these get upgraded. Next packages on the plan are Pantomime, Addresses and GNUmail. Also on the plan are fully automated updates. IMHO, having weekly snapshots on the major Linux distributions is a worthwhile goal and matches the GNUStep development model better than updates only on request and only once a year. On which host could I do this? For myself I have only a commodity PC available which is turned off when I'm on vacation or at sleep. Updating the packages is about 15 minutes of CPU time per update, minimum space requirement about 250 MB. Doing the actual build is not part of the update process, that's done on the Launchpad servers. Thanks, Markus -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.
