I think information about which dependencies are mandatory and which are optional would be very helpful. Optional dependencies are probably even more important, as they are the hardest to discover. There's a lot of good information in the releng directory, but I doubt people know about it. We need a system to generate some nice html pages for each release detailing all of the above information in a nice readable format. Did anyone ever have anything to do something like this? -Thomas _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
