Re: Dumping gnome-smproxy in 2.14



Hi,

   Just to complete this thread, I have taken smproxy from gnome-2-10
branch and imported the code into gnome-smproxy on CVS for those
who may want to use it.

   Thanks!

(a) Create a new CVS module that just contains smproxy
	I've no problem at all with you doing this.

	However, do note that you'll also need patches to make GNOME not get
screwed up with gnome-smproxy - e.g. bugs #118063, #309506 and #147691.


   First of all, let me clarify, this module will be be part of the GNOME
platform release, but it  is more there who needs it can take it. If those
bugs can be fixed it will be a place to putback to. Meanwhile, these bugs can
be assigned against this module.
I disgree with that above mentioned patches should be included as a prior condition where this module is imported to CVS though. It is more likely that
fixing these bugs will involve changes to more than just smproxy.

	I'm really having trouble parsing those two paragraphs, so let me just
clarify what I'm saying:

 1) Go ahead and import the smproxy code into a new module

 2) This won't be part of the GNOME release set

 3) When you go to actually ship smproxy, you'll probably want to look
    into fixing the problems above which smproxy cause. However, one of
    the explicit reasons we're dropping smproxy is that it causes
    problems like this. So, I wouldn't expect upstream to care about
    the problems.

Cheers,
Mark.
