Gnome 2.6 is out!

In a release that marks the fruit of six months of hard work from our hackers, maintainers, translators, testers, usability team and accessibility team, the GNOME community has done it again: GNOME 2.6.0 continues the high standards in the areas of usability, accessibility and internationalisation that our users expect from the world's Free Software desktop.

question...when will gnome 2.6 will be available trough cooker? in a couple days? weeks? months? lol

[tyme]

i don't think 2.6 will make it into cooker for this release. they did a freeze on versions in cooker when they released 10.0 Community. you'll have to wait until after final, or pray someone builds rpm's (which someone probably will-but not me!)

First of all, hello everyone, just registered here :)

 

I'm running mdk 10, and since gnome2.6 propably won't be in cooker because all the 10.0 packages have already been decided, the only hope for us mandrake gnome fans is that someone makes unofficial rpms or a source build guide? (jhbuild howto? *cough*) :-)

[Ghil Vertefeuille]

that or compile manually ;)

 

 

welcome to the board! :)

if you're going to compile manually at least use garnome...then you'll only have half the bugs compared to doing it manually and twice what a distro releases B)

[Ghil Vertefeuille]

guess I'll wait huh ;)

Why would there be more bugs compiling it from source?

[bvc]

cause that's how it is with gnome. Visit http://gnomesupport.org/forums/ and read for yourself. I say it from experience as well. If you don't know what to patch, when, and what to edit etc/whatever.....like garnome or lfs knows and does, then it's bug city. Rpms? I've never tried.....I'd have nightmares even thinking about trying it.
