Dropline Gnome 2.30

UPDATE 24th October 2010

Sunday 24th October 2010, I have a lot of packages built up. The desktop is running on my machine, where I write this up. So since this is already outdated software, as everybody wants always the last, I will most probably create a new branch DLG_2_32 and begin updating this version I have to 2.32 . This can be used as a launcher for all of you you want to help. To get the packages for x86_64 arch please see below and try your best to rebuild it on i686 too.

Today 25th of May 2010 we see Slackware 13.1 released. This will be our base for building the Dropline GNOME 2.30 desktop.

All of you who want to help, please install the Slackware 13.1 version of the OS either 32bit or 64bit version.

Please make sure you dont have the following packages or package groups installed on your development set up: 

* KDE, we do not install all KDE group of software to avoid compilation against some libs or parts of the KDE desktop, 
  since that can lead us to future bugs or problems during compilation and linking of the GNOME software.
  After we have the packages built this will not be an requirement to run GNOME.
* seamonkey, and seamonkey-solibs packages.
* mozilla-firefox and mozilla-thunderbird packages since we supply our own packages of those 2 softwares.

After you got the requirements set up properly and your system running, please check out the Dropline Build System and begin working on your choosen packages. To check out the DBS please issue the following command as a normal user: 

$ svn co http://dropline-gnome.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dropline-gnome/dbs/branches/DLG_2_30 dropline-build-system

This will create a dropline-build-system directory on your machine. When you got that, please tweak the config so you can set up all the needed paths, and then your scripts which you find in dropline-build-system/SCRIPTS dir and issue the following command as a root user to build a package: 

# ./build package_name

After some time you should end up with a created package, which you can install or upload somewhere where we can get it and test it.

Saxa's packages for i686 are here: http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/i686/2.30

Saxa's packages for x86_64 are here: http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.30
