Hmm, good point. I misunderstood some of the messages in this thread to mean that there are a lot of customizations in the JDS version of GNOME, but looking back I see that people were really saying that it's mostly just vanilla, plus bug fixes. So what I should have said is, Blastwave's GNOME build (set of custom patches) is the leading community-based build. --Eric > (It's also quite possible > to build community GNOME 2.10 from cvs on Solaris with jhbuild, for > example, and some folks here already have, but you couldn't really call > that an 'implementation'...) > > Cheeri, > Calum. > > -- > CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Java Desktop System Group > http://ie.sun.com +353 1 819 9771 > > Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems > > _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
