| *** IMPORTANT *** |
| |
| This is a development version of GLib. You should be using a stable |
| version, which is available at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/. This |
| version is meant for developers of GLib only: |
| |
| * You should not base stable software on this version of GLib. |
| * GNOME developers should use a stable version of GLib. |
| |
| Distributions should *NOT* ship a development package of this GLib. |
| Do not ship the headers and do not ship the glib-config script. These |
| things will conflict with the stable 1.2 series. Package only enough |
| to satisfy the requirements of some other package. Package only the |
| library itself. Doing otherwise will do no favors to the community. |
| |
| If you install this version of GLib, we strongly recommend that you |
| install it in a different prefix than GLib 1.2. Use --prefix as an |
| argument to configure to do this. Otherwise, you will not be able to |
| do development with GLib 1.2 any longer. |
| |
| *** You should be using GLib 1.2 instead. *** |

| How to report bugs |
| ================== |
| |
| To report a bug, send mail either to gtk-list, as mentioned |
| above, or to gtk-bugs@gtk.org. If you send mail to gtk-list, you |
| must be subscribed yourself. |
| |
| In the mail include: |
| |
| * The version of GLib |
| |
| * Information about your system. For instance: |
| |
| - What operating system and version |
| - What version of X |
| - For Linux, what version of the C library |
| |
| And anything else you think is relevant. |
| |
| * How to reproduce the bug. |
| |
| If you can reproduce it with the testglib program that is built |
| in the glib/ directory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, |
| please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. |
| As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece |
| of software that can be downloaded. |
| |
| * If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out |
| when the crash occured. |
| |
| * Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but |
| is not necessary. |
| |
| Patches |
| ======= |
| |
| Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on |
| ftp.gtk.org. Please follow the instructions there, and include |
| your name and email address in the README file. |
| |
| If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include |
| all the information described in "How to Report Bugs". |
