Hi, Progressing, I have now to preparecthe "backend" for the GNUstep packages.
The backend provides the graphical part and can be configured with different libraries,s upporting different dependencies. The best rendering is currently supported with the "cairo" library, but one can also use the older "xlib" backend which has thus much less dependencies and is useful e.g. on a server where just a couple of small programs are run without much graphics. Does mgar support his? How? Essentially, I would build "gnustep-back-xlib" and "gnustep-back-cairo" and they should be installed mutually exclusive. All other applications need to depend on either one or the other, the choice is free, but one is needed. On systems like debian, one builds two packages and puts them mutually on dependency. On other systems like gentoo linux, I would build only one package "gnustep-back" and then be able to pass an option, a flavour or something like that to the time being. Riccardo
