Hello, first let me thank you for pointing this out. After my initial confusion I think I see the issue now. We have the following situation: a) Gtk-- 0.9.x does work with Gtk 1.0. No gnome-- support. b) Gtk-- 0.9.x may work with Gtk 1.1 (debian package) and Gnome 0.30.1 (debian package). Then we probably have gnome-- support. c) Gtk-- 0.9.x may work with Gtk 1.1 (CVS) and Gnome CVS. Then we probably have Gnome-- support. d) Gtk-- CVS does work with Gtk 1.1 CVS and Gnome CVS. Then we have Gnome-- support. Current situation is (a). My hope is that (b) will work (which I have to try). (c) doesn't sound very good, and will probably not work. If it would, we had one source package for both Gtk-- versions, but the gtkmm-gnome would depend on CVS sources, which are not packaged for Debian. The same with (d), which will most certainly work. In this case, gtkmm-gnome would have its own source package, *but* building would require CVS sources which are not packaged for Debian. The implication is that it could not be included in Debian. My suggestion is: I'll try (b). If it works, we could distribute a Debian package. If it does not work (or even if it does), I'll write some scripts for automatic building from CVS, which can be included in the CVS tree, so developers can roll their own version at home. I would rewrite my rules file for this (currently debhelper, I wanted to rewrite it anyway). How does it sound? Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
