Don't use garnome-2.15.2.*

user · 2006-05-31 02:31:36

FYI

use 2.14.1
Damn, another many hours wasted.

the libraries are very(really!) unstable.
waiting 2.16.x

PS: had tried garnome on another hdd(200GB/1GB ram) with arch-0.7.2

one ironic thing is my previous arch is much more slick and faster than 0.7.2, i gues it was the wasted time and stable-garnome.

not sure why this was in user-contributions, moved to Upgrade Issues.

mmm, I did build gnome 2.15.2 with some modified PKGBUILDs, it was just as stable as the 2.14 series.
As there where not much improvements, there was no need for me to keep using it so I downgraded back to 2.14.

How much time taken?

never did and never needed gnome itself :smile:

That's good for you, then are you using bare twm?

It was pretty quick . I think it was below 2 hours. It should not take much more time as rebuilding current gnome (PKGBUILD editing is just minor)

user · 2006-05-31 08:02:48

you are lying or i missed something there about PKGBUILD..

PS: no offend.

is that what you mean with no offend

user wrote:

probably so

check on ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2 … .2/sources which packages are in 2.15.2
You see that quite a bit are just the 2.14.* ones, which are in the repo, so no need to update those.
some others you probably also don't need.
Now find out which packages you need to update.
Now use ABS to copy those over to some build location. Change the sources, version numbers, and depends in the PKGBUILDs and you're done. (probably most packages do not need extra modification)
Start making the packages.

That's not all, gtk, glib version-base major level up.

Those are not part of the gnome releases. You should be able to update gnome without having the newest versions of these libs (well, at least with the repo versions it works)

But, it is the part of garnome-2.15.2.1.
