We used to take pride in the small size of our tarballs, but with today's bandwidth availability, I'm unsure whether tarball size still matters that much. To make this happen, you would need to find a way to hook the POD generation into 'make dist'. The Makefile code for the POD generation is created in Glib::MakeHelper::postamble_docs_full(). If its on Windows, then there is a bug with later versions of MakeMaker if I remember correctly. I usually just do before I install or make a ppm: dmake $(INST_LIB)/$(FULLEXT)/index.pod So on Windows with ActivePerl I have both html and pod docs. I can send my build scripts if anybody are interested.

Re: Gtk2::Assistant and Button Access
I think the documentation should be included in the distribution. The Catalyst notion of packaging the main docs in a separate Catalyst::Manual distribution seems to work fairly well. CPAN can link between distributions. Just a thought, Dave ___ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list

Maybe this weekend./webmaster hat Thanks, Would it be possible to have a tarball of all the documentation for offline viewing once they've been regenerated? I'm pretty sure it's been requested before, but I can't remember what the answer was... That would be very useful!

(Debian and others might put it in a separate package which is fine though.) It'd be tempting to put .pod files in the main source dist so they show up on cpan.org. It'd badly bloat the dist but would make them visible to anyone just nosing around ... ___ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list

Gtk2::Assistant and Button Access
How to remove a button from the assistant: It took me a while - but I figured it out. I wanted to remove the 'Last' button from a Gtk2::Assistant - and couldn't figure out how to get access to the buttons. I found this http://old.nabble.com/Gtk2%3A%3AAssistant%3A-Access-to-Buttons-td11415772.html#a11415772 The accessors were added - http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/TSCH/Gtk2-1.180/NEWS But never documented - http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Gtk2/Assistant.html Is there someplace else I should be looking? The accessors are get_*button-name*_button So: $assistant-get_next_button $assistant-get_last_button $assistant-get_previous_button $assistant-get_close_button ... Hope this helps. -Jeff ___ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
