Oh, so this isn't even released yet?? UGGH. Perhaps gnucash-2.2, then. I don't want co-dependencies when we release gnucash-2; I want all the dependencies to be well-available. >> Do you have a phrase-wheel? :) > > Ok, I just did a bit of research into this. > > In Epiphany 1.0x this is a custom widget, a combination of the combo box > and glist which is rigged to update and refresh.

Yes it would. Lots of existing/current distros don't have gtk-2.4. Indeed, gtk-2.4 hasn't even been released yet. GnuCash wont code to non-released dependencies (remember what I said about the 1.6 fiasco). So, 2.4 is not an option for us at this time. Basically, we choose a base system (let's say FC-1 -- it was RH9 (and even RH8 for a while) but the g2 port is taking long enough that we might change it)... We want as many deps as possible to be available on the base platform. This means GTK-2.2.4 is our target. We want our deps to have been released for at LEAST 6 months before we make a release that depends on them. c.f. gnucash-1.6 fiasco. >> Are there any docs for gsf?

Well, we need a guppi replacement; that's important to us for a g2 release. The rest of GO I can probably take or leave. I'm extremely concerned about timelines, and the potential gtk-2.4 dependency. As of today, a dependency on 2.4 is a showstopper for us. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
