Fetch, configure, make install, test your apps and report.

Zip support is another story. So is GGC. If I get a report saying: "With default installation I had that kind of problems..." - it is still an important information! (especially to make a decision what the defaults should be) And there's nothing -devel-specific in that. > Otherwise, we might as well have a single general mailing list. ;-) There's probably no need to Cc: every single message to both lists. But the original one was surely targetted at both user and devel MLs. I'll send two separate messages next time. > Just an opinion... Same here. GBP -- Grzegorz B.
