glib CVS snapshots for Debian
-----------------------------

This is GLib version 1.1.   GLib, is a library which includes support
routines for C such as lists, trees, hashes, memory allocation, and
many other things.

Versions of GLib prior to 1.1.0 are distributed with GTK+ versions 1.1.0
and earlier.

This is a snapshot of GLib from the main CVS archive, built into a
Debian package. This package is not guaranteed to work, as it was
built automatically. You're on your own, mister or missus!

The GIMP Tool Kit (gtk) is a set of widgets to help you program
programs for the X Windowing System easily and powerfully.

gtk is the moving force behind The GNU Image Manipulation Program (The
GIMP) -- the number one freely-available image editing and creation
program available. 

gtk is rapidly under development, and the source tree has officially
been separated from The GIMP now, as other teams of programmers
are beginning to write software using its great widget set -- like
GNOME, a desktop interface for X, and gzilla, a freely available
web browser for X.

Added Debian CVS build scripts. To build a snapshot Debian release, simply run, from within the top level of the glib directory: [ben@gilgamesh:~/src/gtk-snap/glib]% debian/build 1:16AM 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. :) 1998-11-17 10:24:21 +01:00			`glib CVS snapshots for Debian`
