Dear fink users,
Sorry for cross-posting. Contents of this mail affect users who are
using
GNOME 1 desktop environment in Fink's unstable tree.
I'll put GNOME 2 packages into unstable tree in two or three days.
Upgrading
from GNOME 1 to GNOME 2 is an irreversible process. So, if you have
expensive
setting files, please backup them first.
Upgrading process is,
1. (Optional) Backup your GNOME 1 settings.
Copy .gnome .gnome_private and .gconf directories in your home
directory
to safe place.
2. Install GNOME 2 packages when they are available.
In most situation, what you need to do is run 'fink selfupdate-cvs'
and 'fink update-all'. If you want to install entire GNOME 2 packages
properly, installing bundle-gnome package helps you.
If you met an installation error which says gnome-core-1.x conflicts
with gnome-*-2.x, please run 'fink install gnome-core' first, then
install or upgrade other packages.
3. Convert your GNOME 1 settings to GNOME 2.
If you have GNOME 1 settings, setting conversion script will run
when you
launch GNOME 2 first time.
First, you'll be asked whether or not to convert your GNOME 1
settings.
If you choose not converting, GNOME 2 desktop will appear using clean
settings. If you choose converting, GNOME 2 desktop will appear using
converted setting and you'll be asked again whether or not to use
converted setting.
If you have any trouble with setting conversion, you can discard
GNOME 2
settings by following step,
a) Shutdown X Window System.
b) run 'gconftool-1 --shutdown' if you have /sw/bin/gconftool-1
c) run 'gconftool-2 --shutdown' if you have /sw/bin/gconftool-2
d) run 'oaf-slay' if you have /sw/bin/oaf-slay
e) run 'bonobo-slay' if you have /sw/bin/bonobo-slay
f) run 'rm -rf ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2_private ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd'
If you interested in testing GNOME 2 packages before they are put into
unstable tree, they are available at experimental/msek/gnome2 in
Fink's cvs.
Thanks,
