Contents of README:GNOME 2.0 Desktop Beta 3: "La lluvia en Sevilla es una maravilla" ================================================================= The GNOME 2.0 Desktop Beta 3 release, "La lluvia en Sevilla es una maravilla", is ready for your bug-busting and testing pleasure! It is available for immediate download here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/pre-gnome2/releases/gnome-2.0-desktop-beta3/ The GNOME 2.0 Desktop is a greatly improved user environment for existing GNOME applications. Enhancements include anti-aliased text and first class internationalisation support, new accessibility features for disabled users, and many improvements throughout GNOME's highly regarded user interface. In This Release --------------- There are too many packages and updates to list here, please see the full list at: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/pre-gnome2/releases/gnome-2.0-desktop-beta3/UPDATES Build Requirements ------------------ - The tarballs included in the release. :-) - Some very basic packages not distributed with this release, such as image libraries, popt and freetype. These should all be included with or available for your distribution. - Python 2 with expat xml modules for libglade (some modules still require the libglade-convert script, however we do plan to ship glade2 files). - Docbook DTD 4.1.2, Docbook XSL stylesheets and a valid system catalogue file for scrollkeeper (which in turn is required by many desktop components for documentation). - You need recent GNOME 1.4 developer platform packages if you plan to install the GNOME 2.0 platform libraries alongside 1.4. A dependency graph for the developer platform and desktop release is available on the dot.plan website: http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/notes/ Testers ------- If you have incredible talents at breaking GNOME, perhaps even to rival Telsa's infamous path of destruction (and excellent bug reporting of said path), this release is made for you! When reporting bugs, use http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ or bug-buddy. Make sure you choose the correct version number, as reports against particular versions are easier to triage reports against unspecified releases. Before submitting a bug report, try running the software from your terminal to see if it provides extra information, and please make sure that you build everything with full debugging support. Bug Squad --------- Whether you're testing GNOME 2.0 or not, you can still help out with the bug busting efforts by triaging and tracking bugs in bugzilla. Join the bugsquad mailing list, and hang out on #bugs (on irc.gnome.org) to get involved - Thursday is always bug-busting day! http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-bugsquad/ For help with bugzilla accounts, email bugmaster@gnome.org. Distributors ------------ This release is not intended for inclusion in distributions. However, binary packages for bleeding edge testers on your platform are very welcome. Please email the release team <gnome2-release-team@gnome.org> if you have built packages for your platform. Hackers ------- When reporting bugs is simply not enough, and you'd prefer to make your own (or, indeed, fix the ones you find), this release is also made for you! Have a look through bugzilla or the TODO file included with many modules, and make sure to send your patches to the maintainers via the appropriate mailing list, or bugzilla. Happy testing! - The GNOME 2.0 Release Team |
