Re: Retreive installed gnustep version

[Ivan Vučica]

As a „purist”, I tried working with Debian packages when I first started playing with GNUstep. But today, to anyone who plans on using GNUstep more seriously, I recommend installing from source in whatever environment you have.

That’s what the GNUstep developers are working with, and they can only fix issues you run into if you’re running the latest code. (Not to mention you can contribute more easily, too.)

Consider simply trying to uninstall the Debian (Ubuntu) packages.

Yes, it would be a good idea, but I do not know how much time I have tu spend on it, and since I am speaking about the work PC, it shouldn't be too much.

To me personally, having a way to discover a version would not help much, unless the Subversion revision is burned into the software along with the formal version such as 1.24.5.

Yes, I agree. Nothing really critic. But since I have a mixed environment, with some packets from the repository, and some other compiled by me from sources, I was surprised to find some of them in the wrong place.

In any case, I think gnustep packages (make to backend) came from repo, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to install other packages dependant on it (really it would be possible, but it is something I am not used to do).
