Nice, didn't know it's packaged! >Building e19 from source isn't an option: I did try but it was >experimental and needed all kinds of libraries in versions waaay too >far ahead of my Ubuntu platform.

Umm, I dunno, it builds just fine on Debian Stable. https://github.com/mjtorn/e17build is my builder script, it builds it under /opt/e19/. But I do feel the pain kludging. http://sparkylinux.org/ ships e19, but can't do that because: * Debian Testing/Unstable - nope! * Repository dirlists forbidden - can't see if src packages are there * Would have to reinstall and configure a distro that isn't really Debian >Plus from discussions here it's clear that there is still an >impressive amount of dev work going on, so perhaps e19 isn't at an >end-user-ready state yet. I should have more time in the next year... There was e18 in between and e20 is in alpha, so I wouldn't go so far as saying that e19 isn't end-user-friendly. I think my glitches came from the fact I've been carrying my ~/.e/ around since e17 and automatic updates for the conf files didn't exist way back. I guess it's just lack of new packaging. -- mjt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
