This is a verbatim copy of text in Glib's and Gtk2's README. It's not correct anymore: Glib, Gtk2 and Pango are not in beta. > I'm guessing this is old and just never got changed, but I wanted to > confirm before I create an RT ticket for it to be removed, then remove > it. There's more text in the same part of the README describing > different ways of telling Perl how to find Pango in a non-system-Perl > library path; is that text worth keeping? It doesn't reflect the state of the art anymore, which would have you use INSTALL_BASE instead of PREFIX, or simply local::lib. But this state of the art might change again in the future. So yeah, I think it makes sense to simply remove that portion. _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
