You should probably be using jhbuild then.
I do use jhbuild as a build helper, but I don't build the
whole GNOME 3.9 world with it - I prefer to build only the
packages I need and use Ubuntu binaries whenever I can,
especially for underlying libraries. Also, I run everything
I've built live on my system all the time rather than in a
separate jhbuild testing session. So I don't want to run a
vanilla GNOME GTK 3.9; I want one that actually works with the
Ubuntu app menu, for example.
So you are running unity then? if so you can expect that to be fixed
in about 6 months.
Anyway, so now my questions are
- Is there a plan for the GNOME 3 PPA to provide GNOME
3.9 packages for Saucy during this next development cycle?
If so, when might those start to appear, especially a newer
GTK?
Current priority is landing 3.8 packages in saucy. 3.9 on the
ppa, will probably follow after that is done.
That's great to hear.
- If that isn't planned, does anyone out there have a
working GTK 3.9 binary for Saucy, perhaps in another PPA?
Have you checked ricotz/testing ppa? he has git snapshots of
most of the gnome stack there.
I hadn't looked there recently - great to see there are a
bunch of packages there. Whether his GTK 3.9 will actually work
with the app menu is another question - I'll take a look.
Anyway, thanks for the pointer.
