for bugging me all the time to release a new version :)
>>> important instructions <<<
note: it has been some time that i updated cvsgnome and a lot
of things has been changed. i now spent 1.25 days in
updating this script (tarball and cvs), updating the
correct tags as i know them and testing the configure
logs for problems which took a lot of time. as you see
this version has a little script called 'helper' that
you need to activate. in a normal build i expect this
script to fail 3 times:
- libgnomedb, wants scrollkeeper,
- gnome-media, wants gstreamer,
- gal, wants libgnomeprint-2.0 and libgnomeprintui-2.0
to make life easier for you either you build from cvs
or tarballs, do this. as soon as you get one of these
problems, cd into the directory where gnome gets build
in the default case this is /tmp/gnome. you see a lot
of directories and tarballs there. now run 'helper' in
that directory and it starts to checkout some required
tarballs and if you build from tarballs it also patches
totem-0.13.1 and monkey-media-0.6.1. this only works in
the tempdir so make sure you are in the right dir. for
the cvs version no patches will be applied and only the
tarballs get checked out. i know this could have been
done much easier within the script itself but i don't
want to spent more time with cvsgnome than i did now.
after the checkout and after the patches has been
applied run cvsgnome again and enter:
depack libgnomeprint-1.116.3
depack libgnomeprintui-1.116.3
depack gstreamer-0.5.2
depack gst-plugins-0.5.2
depack scrollkeeper-0.3.12
after this has been done enter:
build libgnomeprint-1.116.3
build libgnomeprintui-1.116.3
build gstreamer-0.5.2
build gst-plugins-0.5.2
build scrollkeeper-0.3.12
it should build and install all the requirements in one
go and hopefully without any errors. after this load
cvsgnome again and enter 'world' or 'world stable' to
continue with the build normally. this is only a
temporarely solution and will get solved in future
versions of this script. for other problems such as
pango fails, xft2 or broken modules either read the FAQ
or report to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.

GDM 2.4.1.2
WARSUCKSBAD
http://nowaroniraq.org/
http://www.antiwar.com/
(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down first)
Pretty much just updated translations and fixed one bug in the chooser.
So you now actually get connected to the right host if you touched the
keyboard, or that is, you can actually also connect using your keyboard
only.
And now for the standard part of the release announcement:
GDM is the GNOME Display Manager, it is the little proggie that runs in the
background, runs your X sessions, presents you with a login box and then
tells you to piss off because you forgot your password. It does pretty much
everything that you would want to use xdm for, but doesn't involve as much
crack. It doesn't use any code from xdm, and has a more paranoid and safer
design overall. It also includes many features over xdm, the biggest one of
which is that it is more user friendly, even if your X setup is failing. The
goal is that users should never, ever have to use the command line to
customize or troubleshoot gdm. It of course supports xdmcp, and in fact
extends xdmcp a little bit in places where I thought xdm was lacking (but is
still compatible with xdm's xdmcp).
News:
=====
Highlights of 2.4.1.2:
- The chooser works with keyboard and you don't connect to a different
host if you try to use the keyboard
- intltool*.in files aren't killed on distclean
- Translation updates (Pauli Virtanen, Lauri Nurmi, Dmitry G. Mastrukov,
Russian team, Christian Rose, Sanlig Badral, Christian Neumair,
Pablo Saratxaga, Yuriy Syrota, Fatih Demir, Gorkem, Christian Meyer,
Abel Cheung, Gustavo Noronha Silva)
Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen <[email protected]>, and
has for a while now been maintained by the Queen of England. She is usually
not responsive to bug reports or feature requests. You can try to send them
to me however.
Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install overwrites
most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf and gnomerc. It will however
save backups with the .orig extension first.
Note3: Distributors, packagers. Please, PLEASE use the standard Gnome
script when setting things up as gnome, or at least equivalently working
scripts. It should never be OK to just exec gnome-session, that is
considered bad form. The script needs to read (if available) the ~/.gnomerc
and otherwise read the <sysconfdir>/gdm/gnomerc file. This allows users and
administrators to setup custom startup for gnome.

Sorry no RPMS. There is a spec file included in the tarball and it may or may
not work (it should, and it did some time ago but I haven't tried it lately).
Have fun,
