Yeah, we should treat them as a triple... I updated README.dependencies with the status of a catch-all "gtk+" verison number (from distrowatch) for the last two releases of the top 5 distros. Assuming we get 2.2 out the door in April, that means the 6 month dependency window is October 2006 ... which is about when Ubuntu, Mandriva and Fedora Core last released ... Suse was in December, and Debian just doesn't work that way. In any case, gtk 2.8 seems acceptable, and gtk+-2.10 is almost in there (except for Suse). So, should we go to 2.6, or 2.8? I say 2.8. RHEL4 users have gnucash-2.0.4 to get them by, and we're not really helping them by restricting ourselves to 2.6 if they're still on 2.4. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled;b=asynchronous.org;echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
