Banshee – Building from Git

without comments

Today, we start to build Banshee from Git instead of tarballs. To make sure we always got a working Banshee, thats based on latest version.

Latest Banshee (1.7.3) was released with an issue that made some packagers to either remove gnome-doc-utils or using a patch to current 1.7.3 release.

So from now on, Foresight Linux will ship Banshee built from Git instead. This doesn’t mean we will update it to make it unstable, we will still make sure its stable enough to have in Foresight. As we specify from what Git commit we will build from.

Also read little from creator and developer for Banshee: http://abock.org/2010/07/22/tarballs-why
