HOWTO

# gnome-python
# ============
# Slackware 8.1's 'gnome-python' package includes version 1.4.2, 9.0, 9.1,
# 10.0, and 10.1 didn't include a package for it and as of Slackware 10.2,
# Gnome is no longer included.

# Some apps that I know of that use gnome-python are:
# gramps
# revelation

# To cover different Gnome releases, I include several different versions
# of gnome-python below.  Keep in mind that I only actually use Gnome
# 2.12.x though.

# If you ever want to uninstall gnome-python, or clean up files from an old
# version before installing a new one, cd into the source directory, run
# 'make uninstall', remove the source directory, then remove the tarball.

# Prerequisites (for all versions):
# gawk
# sed
# grep
# python >= 2.2
# pkg-config
# gconf-2.0 >= 1.2.0
