Thanks, I thought I'd looked at 12.0, perhaps not got fed up with it. Some of the other packages they've included in the 2.14.2 dir do not have 2.14.2 as their version number so it doesn't make sense to list it but not include it within the 2.14.2 directory. Obvously, I don't understand the criteria for inclusion.
Generally the way things go with Gnome is that if a package is following the overall version numbering (2.14.0,2.14.1,...) then they will usually release a new version for each of those releases, even if it's just translations that have been updated. This is not always the case, as you've seen. In that case, fetch the most recent stable version (they are the even minor numbers: 2.12.x,2.14.x,...). In other cases, a package may have more intermittent releases to fix bugs like gdm. I believe it is on 2.14.8 right now. The packages that follow this scheme are typically the ones that are part of the "official" gnome distribution. These correspond to the ones Randy has put in the book. Some packages don't follow this trend, like gcalc and gnome-volume-manager. In those cases, you have to do some research to find out what corresponds to the latest stable Gnome distribution. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
