Uh, I should have check in glib20 and gio-fam-backend before I made that comment. I thought that gio (libgio-2.0.so) is in gio-fam-backend, but not it's in glib20. The gio-fam-backend only installs libgiofam.so and FAM support is option in glib configure. I don't think it will be easy to make optional (maybe I am wrong) with that split. Remove gio-fam-backend dependency is going to hurt some users if they want some missing fuction(s) of it. > Cheers, > Mezz > >> Just my 0.02$, >> Alexey. -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
