Robert, Yes, it's sad but Precise won't be supported in 0.4. However, Geary 0.4 should be able to build on more distros since we've eliminated Gnome Keyring as a dependency. Some of us Yorbans are still running Precise at home and are in the same boat. I haven't tried to get it working yet, but here's what I can tell you so far: * We aren't yet using any features specific to WebKitGTK3 1.10, but that could change. * Support for "libindicate" (the mail menu in Precise) is now gone. * I wasn't able to find libsecret in any reliable-looking PPAs, but I it might be possible to build it. As for the future, we may bump the min version of Vala to 0.20.1 for performance reasons. Also I've got a branch that switches us to libgee 0.8 but it hasn't landed yet. I think you can grab both of those dependencies from ppa:vala-team/ppa I hope that gets you started. - Eric _______________________________________________ Geary mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geary
