Something I have been toying (both in terms of thinking about it
and trying it out) with is doing a binary distribution of gEDA/gaf for
Linux (for older and current boxes). Assuming I could pull this off
without statically linking the dependencies (which btw, does not seem to
work too well, IME), would this make people happy? Anybody interested in
such a thing? Would people even run it? I'm not sure of the technical
details yet, but my initial experiments look quite promising.
I really dislike to keep holding off on current library versions, just
because we have users who are on older boxes. But, I don't want leave
those users out in the cold either. I'm looking for a solution which
allows us to move forward and get past these build/dependancy issues.
