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. :)

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 GLib * 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 testglib program that is built in the glib/ directory, 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. * 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. 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".
