I can understand that, but on the other hand, it is hard to decide what to include in such a bundled zipfile so that it would suit everybody. (The same issue concerns an installer.) Maximise potential usefulness or minimise download size? Just the GTK+ stack for typical GTK+ programs? libglade too? The freetype2 Pango backend (which GIMP uses, but few if any other typical GTK+ programs)? And what about message catalogs? (None at all, all of them, or per-language bundles of catalogs from multiple packages?) There are many choices... --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
