Re: Gnome 2.6.1 and FC2

[Chris Chabot <chabotc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Oh while building gnome 2.6.1 packages (for my own use really, process 
is easy enough, update .spec and download new .tar.bz2's) i noticed that 
the current fedora gnome 2.6.0 already has a lot of patches downported 
from 2.6.1 (and a few of the 2.6.1 patches actually come from fedora 
development)

The difference between 'fedora gnome 2.6.0' and 'gnome 2.6.1' isnt as 
big as you would/might think.
