Hi all,Hi Tony,
I've been a long time fink user, but only recently have my skills come up to a level where I would feel comfortable offering help. I have spent some time over the last few days bringing some of the core dependencies for GNOME 2.2.1 up to their relevant releases on my machine, and given the success and minimal patching required, I would like to push some of these forward.
Have you talked to Masanori? ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). He mantains GNOME for Fink and has Gnome 2.2.0 in his experimental tree in CVS.
AFAIK the problem with Gnome 2.2.0 is that it requires Xft2, and no consensus have been reached on how to solve it since there are people running Apple X11 (no Xft2) and people running Xfree 4.3.0 (has Xft2) - personally I'd suggest XFree 4.3 having a 'Provide:' entry for xft2 and provide a separate xft2 with a lower version number that depends on system-xfree86.
I have a bizarre problem when compiling Gnome so I'd have to reinstall OS X before I can dabble with Gnome packaging, but Masanori's packages are quite solid (some problems with dependencies not updated from the previous Gnome 2.0 packages, but that's about it).
Regards,
Michel
