I'm going to start integrating the gnome libraries and necessary
supporting libraries into the Athena source tree soon, so that the
task of integrating things like sawfish or panel won't be as hard
later on.
I'd like to pick things to integrate intelligently. The particular
things I'm concerned about are:
* As I understand it, a bunch of things (like sawfish) still
use imlib, even though gdk-pixbuf is supposed to replace it.
Is this true? Is this likely to still be true around March?
* I'd like to pick up the most recent version of each package,
not necessarily the version which is in gnome 1.2. (So that
there will be less merging work to do when gnome 1.4 comes
out.) Where should I be looking? I already know more or
less where to look for the supporting libraries like
libjpeg which aren't strictly part of gnome.
I will of course be using the aui locker as a reference for what local
changes were necessary at a certain time, but I will be reexamining
them and submitting them for source review rather than applying those
changes blindly.
