I've finally managed to build, but not test, udebs for glib, pango, and gtk+-directfb.
After building 3 udebs, I finally have an idea of how it should be done, I think. I've uploaded all of them to: people.debian.org/~mbc/udebs These still need a lot of work, and they need to be combined with some udebs from Sebastian, but we're making some progress. If someone could take a look at these and send some complaints, tips, suggestions, flames, etc, I would greatly appreciate it. Again, I'm not an expert in gnome or on library packages, so I could really use any advice. I've emailed the maintainers for some of these packages, and not gotten much response. I'm still working on these, I was just happy to see the .udeb files with anything in them, heh. Our general plan at this point is that the user will begin the install in text mode and then have the option to select another frontend (the frontend chooser isn't even begun yet, I don't think). Once it is chosen, the necessary udebs will be downloaded and installed. That is why we made udebs for pango, and gtk-directfb. Sebastian also has debs ready for the rest of the dependencies, except for atk. I know that this is still a mess at this point, but there's a lot to do so I'm trying to get something working and have the fine details worked out later. thanks in advance michael -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer, lindows.com hyperpoem.net | GNU/Linux software developer people.debian.org/~mbc | encrypted email preferred "Great Faith.
