simply run, from within the top level of the gtk+ directory: [ben@gilgamesh:~/src/gtk-snap/gtk+]% debian/build 1:16PM This will build a Debian snapshot release, updating debian/changelog, and place the resultant .debs in .. (~/src/gtk-snap/ in this example). The version numbers are automatically updated, and look like: YYYYMMDD.XX where YYYY is the four-digit year (Y10K problem!) and MM is the month (01-12) and DD is the day (01-31). XX is the build number; it starts at 01 and debian/build increments it if you build from CVS more than once in a day. If you're doing more than 99 CVS builds in one day you need your head checked. *NOTE*! The debian/build script I've written does not check in the changes it has made to debian/changelog; that'd be scary and probably generate too many log files all the time. This really doesn't matter *too* much, since debian/changelog is kind of irrelevant with CVS builds. Just know that the scant information that is in there will not be updated via CVS. Also, for obvious reasons, the debian/build script I've written disables PGP signing of the resultant .changes and .dsc file. Since these packages are not going into any archives, this will not be a problem. Of course, all this doesn't mean much to you if you don't have the Debian dpkg-dev tools and debhelper installed, so don't worry if you have no idea what I'm talking about. :)
General Information =================== This is GTK+ version 1.1.3. GTK+, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical user interfaces for the X Window System. It is designed to be small, efficient, and flexible. GTK+ is written in C with a very object-oriented approach. The official ftp site is: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk The official web site is: http://www.gtk.org/ A mailing list is located at: gtk-list@redhat.com To subscribe: mail -s subscribe gtk-list-request@redhat.com < /dev/null (Send mail to gtk-list-request@redhat.com with the subject "subscribe") Installation ============ See the file 'INSTALL' How to report bugs ================== To report a bug, send mail either to gtk-list, as mentioned above, or to gtk-bugs@gtk.org. If you send mail to gtk-list, you must be subscribed yourself. In the mail include: * The version of GTK * Information about your system. For instance: - What operating system and version - What version of X - For Linux, what version of the C library And anything else you think is relevant. * How to reproduce the bug. If you can reproduce it with the testgtk program that is built in the gtk/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded. (Bugs that can be reproduced within the GIMP are almost as good as bugs that can be reproduced in testgtk. If you are reporting a bug found with the GIMP, please include the version number of the GIMP you are using) * If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occured. * Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary. If you do send a stack trace, and the error is an X error, it will be more useful if the stacktrace is produced running the test program with the --sync command line option. Patches ======= Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on ftp.gtk.org. Please follow the instructions there, and include your name and email address in the README file. If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
