Thanks for the information. Product developers may provide an alternative. It may have to be selected at build time. Python-2 might still disappear. > Does mate still need these tools or have they moved on to something else? There aren't very many products. Some of them are gnome-2 applications that OI runs under Mate. Mate itself may not need the tools, but I really don't know. -- -Gary Mills--refurb--Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev

That's actually pretty good. Fortunately also, it's only a build-time dependency, not a run-time dependancy. Only developers will need to install the gnome-doc-utils package. That's still a step in the right direction. -- -Gary Mills--refurb--Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
