Hi,
Forewarning: Wear your Fire-Proof garments for this message. In _all_ my earlier config.logs: > configure:6470: checking for GLIB - version >= 2.14.0 > […] > configure:6598: result: yes (version 2.23.6) In the brand-new gnome master and testing branches: > configure:6470: checking for GLIB - version >= 2.28.6 > configure:6602: result: no I know it was due to <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665289> by the patch <http://git.gnome.org/browse/pan2/commit/?id=365e28759852f6b16a384f826c60b9efa93053dd> (same id also for testing branch). IMO This is a badly designed patch. You should test for GLIB levels _inside_ the affected areas then adjust the #includes etc _properly_ as in a "before/after" picture. I have other gnomish tools that should stay at my current level (namely SiliconDust F/OSS projects for HDHomeRun boxes). But because of no complaints on their end, we assume they do have the "before/after" adjustments within their code. Also You must put out a public statement that this "GLIB >= 2.28.6" is "now a requirement for Pan". It might even need to solicit agreements of the community. Else you will likely instantly axe many people like me. (See the production GTK+/OSK project release status.) Yes it is that badly designed IMO. I vaguely remember when the Gnome teams decided to re-design that whole ball of wax. It was not pretty. It continues to shame other projects. Thus this is the reason for my sheer unhappiness of this patch in particular. … :( … Depending on whether this patch will be re-designed, I will likely bow-out of further Pan testing. I cannot see how to rightly spend time to "upgrade" this g.d. fruity machine. I saw way too much changes in the patch history of Gnome et al. For ex. they split-up libraries that were once all-together, i.e. as it is now in my current system. Things like that. Too much down-time is needed to get all caught-up AISI. My time would be better spent to build an all-new system, which I've mentioned I intend to do ASAP in getting off this fruity ship. I will then presently necessarily keep my Pan frozen at current level 72c8148 (which also matches the new gnome-git repo levels) and also continue using the stunnel & openssl-cvs repo. I hope to glomm-onto some after-xmas sales/specials to start putting a non-fruit system together. -- _______________________________________________ Pan-devel mailing list Pan-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-devel
