You should probably be using jhbuild then.
I do use jhbuild as a build helper, but I don't build the whole GNOME
3.9 world with it - I prefer to build only the packages I need and use
Ubuntu binaries whenever I can, especially for underlying libraries.
Also, I run everything I've built live on my system all the time rather
than in a separate jhbuild testing session. So I don't want to run a
vanilla GNOME GTK 3.9; I want one that actually works with the Ubuntu
app menu, for example.
Anyway, so now my questions are
- Is there a plan for the GNOME 3 PPA to provide GNOME 3.9 packages
for Saucy during this next development cycle? If so, when might
those start to appear, especially a newer GTK?
Current priority is landing 3.8 packages in saucy. 3.9 on the ppa,
will probably follow after that is done.
That's great to hear.
- If that isn't planned, does anyone out there have a working GTK
3.9 binary for Saucy, perhaps in another PPA?
Have you checked ricotz/testing ppa? he has git snapshots of most of
the gnome stack there.
I hadn't looked there recently - great to see there are a bunch of
packages there. Whether his GTK 3.9 will actually work with the app
menu is another question - I'll take a look. Anyway, thanks for the
pointer.
