Ok, I guess now we are back on track, concerning gwave!

http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/gwave/gwave.png

I have a working copy of gwave 2 (20070514) along with its missing 
dependencies.:
http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/gwave/
I haven't yet mock anything, and more polishing should be done.


The next question is who will maintain what of those ? 
I'm wiling to take gwave, since it's closer to gEDA.
Xavier, will to take the guiles :) ?

here's upstream response:
--------------------------------------------------
Note that gwave2 (for gtk+-2.0) doesn't include any of the much-needed 
improvements that gtk+-2.0 will eventually enable me to write, but it does 
appear to build and work no worse than the gtk-1.0-based gwave
- once the dependencies are dealt with.

Dependencies are the main reason I haven't really announced this version 
although you are of course welcome to download it and test.

That would be great. I've been trying to deal with the dependencies before 
announcing something that was easier for people to use.
I've also been building FC6 RPMs for my own development, and had recently 
looked at the Fedora guidelines and the process for getting my rpms into 
Fedora.
I'd be very pleased if you got the whole guile-gnome-platform stack into
Fedora, and wouldn't mind colaborating to help make that happen.

here's what I know:

guile-gtk-2.0 isn't needed

guile-gnome-platform-2.15.93 is the right choice, but it requires
g-wrap 1.9.9, which unfortunately isn't released yet.  1.9.9RC1 required a 
few patches.  I successfully built everything using g-wrap from CVS of a 
few weeks ago. I think the current CVS should work OK too.  I haven't 
tried pestering the maintainer for a release or release candidate.

guile-gnome-platform-2.15.93 also needs guile-cairo, which I have been 
building RPMs for. The last time I built gwave2, guile-cairo was at 
1.3.91; but I think the current 1.4.0 should work; try:

> Right now, I was able to build the gwave-20060606 with

> * guile-gtk-1.2

Yes, that's what I'd recommend for the old one.

--------------------------------------------------

I'll invite him to join in.
