If you cannot use git, set up your .jhbuild to use this moduleset: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/releng/2.91.4/gnome-suites-core-2.91.4.modules and this default module: "meta-gnome-core-shell". This will build everything from tarballs (which are downloaded using wget). Note though that is the (almost full) GNOME release, so it will build more stuff than the gnome-shell moduleset, and that you need to update the moduleset when a new unstable release is out (next is 12/01, full schedule at http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointNinetyone) Giovanni _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
