Gregory Leblanc has posted GNOME 1.4 RPMs for Red Hat 6.2 and 7.0 which he built. They have not been thoroughly tested, although he has been using them with no problems. Grab them here.IRIX GNOME packages (April 23)
David Kaelbling has posted some GNOME packages for IRIX. They aren't quite GNOME 1.4, but are getting there. They are available from /pub/GNOME/stable/irix on ftp.gnome.org. (Please use http://download.gnome.org/.) Release notes and a FAQ can be found at http://freeware.sgi.com/.GNOME Packaging Project Launched (April 23)
Gregory Leblanc launches the GNOME Packaging Project. The project will provide guidelines for packaging binary and source releases of GNOME modules and will make packages of GNOME modules, both for releases as well as built from CVS. There are many benefits to this, including improved availability of quality GNOME packages for end-users, availability of packages for testing and thus a much more thoroughly tested GNOME, and improved support for distributions so it is easier for them to ship GNOME which works properly. For more details, see Greg's original proposal and request for comments on the gnome-hackers mailing list.
