Getting started with the GNOME Developer Kit

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Joshua Hesketh has written some great documentation on how to use the GNOME Developer Kit. He has covered building, applying/creating patches, and contributing to the GNOME module of your choice . Thanks Josh!

I would love to find a volunteer to document using the kit for translations or documentation.  Any volunteers?

GNOME Developer Kit updates

Monday, January 14th, 2008

It’s been a while since I have blogged about the GNOME Developer Kit. It has still been building daily, so plenty of updates. I have added some additional packages by request, hopefully they will help make it into an even more useful tool.

Added:

  • Anjuta
  • Meld
  • MonoDevelop
  • valgrind
  • translate-toolkit
  • poedit

I have also modified the build system to use the svn revision for package version. I am now able to do a comparison of the latest revision in svn and the latest package version, and only rebuild the package if it has a new revision. Another beneft this gives us is an easy way to see what svn revision of a package you are running. Here is an example:

conary q glib
glib=r6302-1-1

More great news, Joshua Hesketh has started documenting some ways to use the devel kit for development. More coming soon… stay tuned!
