Hi Mathieu and all,


I found that using GNOME on arch was a better experience than other
distributions. I've done my share of distro hopping from RPM to DEB
systems and I think Arch with its quick packagers and simple
installation is recommended if you are comfortable with commandline.
Arch repositories carry GNOME 3.10.1.

Oh well I've donne my share with Arch, and if you want a bleeding edge
solution (and have time to spend in upgrade problems) it's really a
great disto. ;)

Well anyway if Luiz want to run it into a VM to have its boxed gnome dev
environnement, Arch may be indeed just as fine. Those said in my
experiment, you should be aware that it will take you more time to
configure and maintain (but you may learn much through the process those
said).


Apart from the python versioning problems (which was easily resolved
with the script from their wiki page), I have had no issues setting up
JHbuild on Arch.


Just thought I should let the list know that there are more options
than Fedora or Ubuntu for using GNOME :)

                Hello Luiz,
                
                GNOME has a very good tool for what you want, JHBuild.
                Its pretty
                easy to install and use.
        
        
        It depends what distribution you are using, then. As far as
        I'm concerned
        I gived up the idea of installing a gnome dev environement on
        my debian
        stable box, and I will probably install a fedora box when I
        have time.
        Installing it in a VirtualBox may be a good idea.
        
        Anyway, I would say that as a user you may order installation
        easiness like that:
        0. it's already installed on your shiny new device
        1. you just install it through the usual (package manager|
        appstore)/go to the right URL
        2. you must make some manual configuration but you won't meet
        big difficulty since there's
           a bundle for your system which almost work out of the box
        3. no particular integration for your system, welcome to hell
        
        So far my experience with JHBuild scores 3.
        
                
                Thanks,
                Abhinav

                environment
                
                Hello all,
                
                 I am trying to get started contributing with Gnome.
                First thing I
                wanna do is set up a development environment where I
                can play around
                without worrying about messing up with my current
                Gnome installation.
                
                So, I thought about having it installed in VirtualBox.
                Is it
                recommended? Are there any side effects on this
                approach?
                If the above is not the ideal scenario, what would be
                the best approach?
                
                Thanks,
                Luiz
