However, I can announce that, for those that really don't mind
trashing their machines, the first 1.4 release candidate can be
found in both source and binary form starting from:
http://www.lovett.com/~ade/gnome/
Unless there are absolutely show-stopping bugs, and note that for
FreeBSD/GNOME, if nautilus proves unreliable, it will be canned and
gnomemc will be put back in, I plan on committing this approximately
two weeks from today (04/30/2001).
In order of priority:
port infrastructure/packaging bugs
bugs specific to FreeBSD
GNOME bugs (please use http://bugzilla.gnome.org -- reports
sent to me generally get dumped in the round file)
Finally, whilst I've hosted the packages and distfiles, please don't
abuse this, and where possible try to build your own packages from
source, using MASTER_SITE_GNOME.
Thanks,
-aDe
