[gnome-love] New version of GNOME 2 Porting Doc available.

[Malcolm Tredinnick <malcolm commsecure com au>]

A new version of the porting document for GNOME 1 --> GNOME 2
conversions has just been uploaded to
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/porting/. This fills in a number of
the missing sections from the first release and corrects a few blatant
errors as well.

Changes in this release:
        - Clarifications and corrections to the build process (Jacob).
        - Add an introductory section about all the steps involved in
          doing a port and cleaning up the application (Telsa, Glynn,
          me).
        - Add a write-up about session-management (Havoc, Glynn).
        - Various typographical fixes.
        - Include a reference to the Human Interface Guidelines
          document.
        - Mention a couple of non-GNOME packages that are assumed to be
          installed.
        - Add a page about gconf.
        - Document how to work around gnome-http going missing.
        - Mention GNOME_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.
        - More disk space measurements.
        - Expand the GTK/GLib pages a bit more. Include the Makefile.am
          adjustments required to use glib-genmarshal.

Still missing (major sections):
        - libbonobo and libonoboui (volunteer wanted!!)
        - some of the main GTK+ changes (possibly will never be
          finished; there are so many of them).
        - Makefile.am adjustments to use scrollkeeper (already being
          written by a cheerful volunteer).
        - Various small FIXMEs, but nothing else major.

It is also available in the porting-doc module in CVS.

Cheers,
Malcolm
