The Famous Five list :-) 1. if GARCHIVEDIR specified then, don't keep .gz files in cookies dir rather port it after every successful extract / build / install to GARCHIVEDIR. keep the source code area less bulky this way. 2. cleaning option without wiping out the source code. this is required as we may edit the individual files and once we do a clean the edits have to be manually repeated... 3. Option to auto introduce a new dependency and integrate into the garnome environment. This will be helpful for compilation computability options and so on. 4. Auto generate a garnome stand alone run script based on user configuration as he installs gnome, with suggestions to edit .xsession and so on... 5. Auto detect latest patches for the users system and download them.
GARNOME has not seen any code changes since 2008: https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/garnome/log This project is not under active development anymore and got archived in Git. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
