Re: [Gtk-osx-users] GTK updates.

[Pascal <p p14 orange fr>]

Hi John,
You're effectively right if every thing is correct no need to update.
But just to know in case of.

I was confused with GIT repository from SF:
As git://gtk-osx.git.sourceforge.net / gtk-osx/gtk-osx-build / summary:
last change	Thu, 9 Sep 2010 17:57:56 +0000
I hadn't found any recent change.

Regards, Pascal.

The stable modulesets are still building Gtk+-2.24, which is in maintenance mode: Only critical bugs are being worked upon. There are no releases of gtk-osx-build. Except for bootstra.modules, everything important changes in the git repository, and both the setup script and the modulesets pull from the repo, so if I change anything, it's immediately live.

The exception to that rule is when I move something into bootstrap which changes dependencies. I just added readline last week, but it may move back out. Other than that, there's nothing that will break if you use the old bootstrap.modules. (If you're working on a PyGtk-based package, you'll wind up building Python twice because I just took it out of bootstrap.modules and moved it to gtk-osx-python.modules. Aside from that, just run jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap meta-gtk-osx-core (and whatever other modules you need) and jhbuild will update the stuff that's been updated and skip the rest.
