[gdm-list] Re: GDM2 2.13.0.4 (unstable), the "Gerbil Wolf" release



Hi all,

I'm not subscribed, so my mail may not make it to the list.

Just for reference these are the versions of glib2 found on Fedora
Core (by the vendor, not ATrpms):

FC3:	2.4.8
FC4:	2.6.4
FC5:	2.9.1+

Philip, probably FC5 test 1 will be a better platform for building the
latest gdm. Or you might want to pick 2.9.1 from rawhide and rebuild
for FC3, which may or may not open another can of dependencies.
