GNOME2 is coming - test needed.

Hi fink developers, I think GNOME2 packages are almost ready for release. Upgrading from GNOME1 to GNOME2 is an irreversible process, so I'm planning that request developers test them first, then if no critical problem found, put them into unstable tree (hopefully in next week). What kind of problem I think *critical* is, 1. Cannot install bundle-gnome-2.x at all. 2. Core applications like gnome-session and gnome-panel does not work. Especially for gnome-session, it contains configuration conversion programs from debian and not tested well. If you interested in testing, please follow instructions below: 1. Backup your GNOME configurations (~/.gnome* ~/.gconf*) 2. Add packages in experimental/msek/gnome2 in Fink's CVS 3. Install GNOME2 packages (installing bundle-gnome is convenient) 4. If you'd like to test configuration conversion, remove ~/.gnome2*. 5. Launch gnome-session. First time you launch gnome-session, you will be asked whether to convert GNOME1's configuration to GNOME2's. Any suggestions are welcomed. --- Masanori Sekino mailto:msek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com

OTOH not all lawyers are experts on licensing law issue and international laws (esp. that in the USA) either...

I'll list them by maintainer (note that some of these have dependencies on gtkhtml-dev and gtkhtml-shlibs): If it depends on dev/shlibs, there is no problem. So leave me out of this, thanks, my shlibdeps are fine. :) -Ben ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com
