Is there any sign of Gnome2.4 being ported to SUSE9 - preferably via APT?

If I ever get around to doing it, it'll be available by APT, but it's looking increasingly unlikely that it'll happen this side of 9.1 (when I expect it'll be in SuSE anyway)

Well, I'm hoping to see a XD2.1 (or somesuch) refresh for 9.0, but it's probably a slim hope.

I have it on a magazine cover disk as about thirty tarball packages. Knowing my luck with compiling tarballs, there is no possibility whatever of it all installing correctly! It was the same with Garnome when I once tried it.

I haven't tried Garnome with 9.0 when I built the 2.4 release version on 8.2 it worked fine.

I tried Garnome on 8.2 and had all sorts of problems, not the least of which was lack of disk space. (It takes several gigs for all the source and the build space.) I eventually gave up. Evolution wouldn't build because of some problem with the Pilot stuff, and I wanted that especially. I'm thinking of trying again on 9 just for the fun of it, but I'd love to hear from you if there was some big gotcha about the gnome-pilot stuff that I ought to know... Regards all, dk

Well I have only been studying for a few years since before reliable detection of IDE CDRW. Not enough time to do that much hacking. Ill wait for 9.1 iff it has GNOME 2.4 then ill buy. CWSIV On Wed, 12 Nov 2003 09:27:34 +0000 Keith Powell writes:

it.

Sometime, when I have two weeks with nothing else to do and don't mind being driven insane, I may try installing the Gnome2.4 tarballs from the CD :-(

On the other hand, I may wait for it to be on the next version of SUSE.

Cheers
