Hello, The LSB desktop
project has announced the 3.1 preview release. This is a fairly complete
version of LSB desktop specification for wider review. We are targeting the
first release candidate for the same in the middle of this month. The specification is available at: http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/booksets/LSB-Desktop/LSB-Desktop.html This specification is based on the following
libraries and versions. 1. GTK toolkit module: The module only specification
for GTK is available at: http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/book/Toolkit_Gtk/Toolkit_Gtk.html a. Glib version 2.6.6 b. ATK version 1.9.0 c. Pango version
1.8.2 d. GTK version 2.6.10 2. XML module: The module only specification is
available at http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/book/XML/XML.html a. libxml2
version 2.6.22 3. Graphics-Ext module: The module only
specification is available at http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/book/Graphics-Ext/Graphics-Ext.html a. libpng12 library
version 1.2.8 b. libjpeg library
version 6b c. libfontconfig
library version 2.3.2 d. fontconfig
commands: fc-cache, fc-list and fc-match Please note that if a distro has an older version of
library, it may not be able to pass LSB desktop certification. E.g.
libxml2 2.6.20 does not have certain symbols that 2.6.22 provides. Please note some of the specification work currently
in-progress (E.g. PNG and JPEG). Kindly review the specification and submit your
feedback. The preferred method is LSB bugzilla at http://bugs.linuxbase.org/ What may be added before official release-candidate: libQt: Currently Trolltech is working on creating
the specification for this toolkit. As they complete the required
technical work, decision will be made regarding including libQt in LSB
desktop specification. This decision relies on timely completion of libQt
specs work and licensing criteria resolution. Thanks, -Rajesh Banginwar LSB desktop lead. |
