Re: Gnome CVS docs..

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

It could do with a dependencies list.  In your docs (which look quite good
by the way), if I wanted to install ee for instance, it would appear that
I need everything above it (including things like gnome-dom, which are not
needed).

It would be better if I could work out the exact packages needed for gwp
or something.  This could be best handled by a makefile like file in the
gnome-info module.  It may look something like this:
  glib:
  ORBit: glib
  gtk+: glib
  imlib: gtk+ <image libraries>
  gtk-engines: gtk+ imlib
  gnome-libs: gtk+
  ...

Then have a note about how to use this file to deduce the build order of
modules in your CVS documentation.

It would be a bit pointless to add this now, but it would be nice in the
future.

Also, people using CVS should have gettext >= 0.10.35 installed on the
system (your doc doesn't specify the lowest allowable version).

Another thing is that people should be using the glib-1-2 and gtk-1-2
branches of glib and gtK+ respectively at the moment.  If you haven't
checked out those modules yet, this is accomplished by doing:
  cvs -z3 checkout -r glib-1-2 glib
  cvs -z3 checkout -r gtk-1-2  gtk+

If you already have a checkout on your system, you can switch it over to
the 1.2 branch with:
  cvs -z3 update -r glib-1-2 -d -P -R glib
  cvs -z3 update -r gtk-1-2  -d -P -R gtk+
