Why can't the situation be improved without removing dependency resolution and system-wide libraries? Isn't this the problem of standardization and unification? Eg. if all distributions used RPM and you could be sure that GTK+ 3 package is called gtk3 and the library is located in /usr/lib64/libgtk-3.so, what problems would remain there? _______________________________________________ gnome-os-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-os-list
