GARNOME 0.12.1: "Can't Dance In These Old Shoes" ================================================ I got myself a little present when G2D was released, which encouraged some cool fixes to GARNOME. How do you spell "holiday"? Here's the silicon-candy: Results of optimised "time make -j install" in the meta/gnome-desktop garball with a Dual Athlon 1800+ MP, 512MB DDR RAM. Complete build in tmpfs (!!!) installed to usual disk-based ext3 prefix: real 55m6.347s user 63m25.590s sys 16m48.420s "Sweet baby Jebus." Enjoy G2D and GARNOME. :-) What's New? ----------- * Update to KDE 3.0.2. * Added: kdeaddons, kdeartwork, kdebindings, kdenetwork, kdesdk, kdevelop, mostfet-liquid. Not entirely sure if the depends are right for some of these. ;-) * Added buildclean rule and accompanying BUILD_CLEAN variable in gar.conf.mk/. If you need to build on a small drive, or in tmpfs, set BUILD_CLEAN to 1. Off by default, because it will confuse people unfamiliar with GAR. * Enforced -j1 in some garballs, so that complete parallel builds of at least the GNOME stuff will build. This effects: GConf, ORBit2, gnome-panel, libgtkhtml, libgtop, libxml2, sawfish. * Added Intel and AMD optimised build hints to the category.mk files. Just go in and swap the comments. AMD hints designed for GCC 3.1. * Updated a few GNOME garballs, and included the GStreamer 0.4.0 release. Rhythmbox and gst-player not yet updated for it, don't expect these to work. :-) Where Do I Get It? ------------------ The tarball and documentation [1] are available on the GARNOME website: http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/ - Jeff [1] People who don't read the documentation tend to look pretty silly on garnome-list and in #garnome. -- I get my kicks above the .sigline, sunshine.
