I wanted to ask some questions and was wondering if you could help
(since you're apparently doing the FAQ). Anyway - To get a 'decent'
GNOME compilation what packages are necessary from the /snapshot/ site?
Unfortunately for CVS all you need to do is a cvs -z3 checkout gnome
and it checks out all the necessary packages (regardless of what they
are!). Anyway, I was thinking we need al ist like this for daily
snapshots (A simple: You need <X> if you want <Y> etc etc (i.e.
gnumeric for spreadsheet) also an 'essential' section (what is needed
for the basics). What I got was this:
1) Gtk+, Glib
2) libIDL, ORBit, Imlib
3) gnome-libs
4) libvfs (this is not on the jimpick daily snapshots - what is it?)
5) libgtop
6) gnome-core
7) gnome-guile
8) gnome-admin/games/network/utils

What about gtk-guile? What about gnome-xml and gnome-http (or was it
gnonme-html) something like that?
Any help is apprecaited
