I used to test the Rhythmbox SVN while ago, but it was also hard for me to compile it with new features I wanted to test, because I was running sta(b)le Ubuntu. I have switched to jhbuild since and I also use it for various custom projects that aren't there yet. Maybe that's the way? -- Cheers Piotr Gaczkowski _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
