[cut] my question was more: are you planning on developing GTK/GNOME apps while retaining your system copy, or are you literally trashing your system by installing newer versions on top of your running system? if you're just looking at a development environment, then you should probably be cloning jhbuild from git, and creating a separate environment, in a separate directory. otherwise, I'd strongly suggest you just learn to let go. there are other distributions, even Debian-based, that are shipping with a decent set of dependencies. learning how to make packages will lead you to maintain a Ubuntu fork anyway, and I can assure you: maintaining a distribution by yourself is not in any way, shape, or form "fun". ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi/ _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
