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
