gnome build procedure proposal

[Terry Chan]

Your diagrams only display the LEFT-half.  Please don't send such diagrams again.
If you really want to get your gnome2 changes implemented then I suggest you do
this:

1, Checkout the git version of moonbase. Install git on your lunar box with
        lin git
then do:
        git clone git://lunar-linux.org/lunar/moonbase.git

2. Update the gnome2 modules to your satisfaction. Check-in ALL of your changes 
with git commands.

3. Report back here when you are succesful with all your desired gnome2 changes.

4. Tell us the URL so one of the lunar devs can pull your git changes into a
copy of moonbase for testing and then we can commit your changes for everyone
else to use.

I attach 3 ps files showning the Gnome's platform dependence graph (DG) from garnome (the first 2) and lunar build system respectevelly. The first garnome DG includes all the dependencies between the modules and the second is (i believe...:) ) the spanning tree of the first one.I've changed the DEPENDS of those modules, to match dependencies according to garnome and successfully build a gnome platform.
