Yeah, the update is every six hours, accuracy isn't that important. I was actually asking about the "checking the dependency at compile time" part. Sorry if that wasn't clear. As far as I know, you can't do that easily with python plugins. I was wondering if that would mean we'd have to add code to the plugin to decide whether to use the new call or not, and how that would work. -- Adam Zimmerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREATIVITY - http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/movingimages/Building_on_the_Past.mpg ALWAYS - http://www.musiccreators.ca/ BUILDS - http://www.ubuntu.com/ ON THE PAST - http://www.theopencd.org/ -- cashtration, n.: The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
