Unfortunately, the gdk_imlib 1.1 stuff wrecked things - gnome 0.13 required a newer version (which was only available in CVS). Everything would build, but most of the binaries would not run. Raster released gdk_imlib 1.2 a few days ago, so I may be able to release some gnome stuff that works sometime this week. > The thing I was wondering about is getting support in their build > scripts for debs.

I thought about doing it daily, but that would be too much work. My thought was to put this in a non-standard location (ie. under /opt) so that they wouldn't interfere with released versions of Gtk, Gnome, etc. The debian/rules will be different for the snapshot packages than the released ones - so I'll have to figure out a scheme to work around that. Perhaps the Red Hat labs guys would be willing to build the .debs too. Even if they were willing to do that - they might not be the best choice to do it, as they wouldn't be testing the .debs. Once I get the packages built, I'm going to see if I can get the "debian" directories put into the Gnome CVS. Cheers, - Jim
