> BugZilla was developed for usage in MoZilla. > Well, Miguel De Icaza wrote mc, so I guess he has the right to do it. I would like to use DCOP in my applications, but depending on it would even produce ugly dependencies, lets say you develop a server using DCOP, this would require to have kdelibs installed on the server as well, even if you'll never have a desktop there. Why? Because I think DCOP is more that just for the D (Desktop) and it could then be used in other applications as well (non GUI based, e.g. But anyway, as you mentioned it, I would really like to see DCOP standalone as well. Yes, except that libxml was initially created out of GNOME, it came to GNOME later. It's a infastructure library, not a desktop library. Other apps saw that they were useful and use them too. > Well, these libraries were developed for GNOME in the first place. > and how it adopts all the gtk based apps and other independant libaraies and console apps. People should have worked on Harmony instead ) But of course, I don't think GNOME is going to die any time soon either. I don't think GNOME should have ever been created. But what I really don't like is its history, why it has been created, It's good to have concurrents (to KDE, etc). > Well, it's not that I don't like GNOME. Notice why BugZilla has the "Zilla" part in it yet? 0 BugZilla is as tied to GNOME as it is to KDE. So BugZilla is not part of GNOME.īugZilla was developed for usage in MoZilla.
It has a different homepage, it has a different CVS repository, and I really can't connect it to GNOME anyway. > And, of course, I do not see BugZilla as a GNOME application. Well, Miguel De Icaza wrote mc, so I guess he has the right to do it. a console filemanager for the desktop as standard gui FM ) Why is this part of GNOME? GNOME just took the right to adopt mc to be its initial standard file manager. > And, what about mc (Midnight Commander)? This is a console application, a Norton Commander clone.

But what I really don't like is its history, why it has been created, and how it adopts all the gtk based apps and other independant libaraies and console apps. a console filemanager for the desktop as standard gui FM )Īnd, of course, I do not see BugZilla as a GNOME application. But they're told to be GNOME libraries.Īnd, what about mc (Midnight Commander)? This is a console application, a Norton Commander clone. They're really backend libraries, wich has n0thing to do with GNOME. I am talking about libraries like libxml2, libxst. But, WTF is GNOME adopting such alot non-desktop libraries, even GIMP is seen as a GNOME application by lots of users, but it isn't.
