[guppi-list] New Guppi Snapshot

[Jon Trowbridge <trow emccta com>]

I've made a new Guppi development snapshot, based on the CVS version
as of 6:00pm CDT on Oct 22, 2000.

ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/guppi/snapshots/Guppi-2000-10-22.tar.gz

Guppi is now an official "extra app" for GNOME 1.4, so we are marching
towards an actual release that will be as functional and feature-laden
as possible.

This Guppi snapshot should be suitable for use with Gnumeric.  Be
aware, though, that the unholy union of Guppi and Gnumeric is still
experimental.  You'll need to build your own Gnumeric --- the packaged
versions don't have built-in Bonobo support.

This version of Guppi takes about 16 minutes to compile on my laptop
(700mhz PIII, 192mb RAM) when it is unloaded (no X, no mp3 player, no
mozilla, etc.).  YMMV.

Before compiling, the untarred Guppi source directory consumes 7.7mb.
After compiling, the Guppi directory (on my machine) grows to 203mb.
Start making room on your hard drive now.

As usual, any reports of success or failure in building/using Guppi
are appreciated.  Reports concerning non-x86/non-Debian/non-Helix
situations are of particular interest.

Enjoy,

-JT
