This requires root privileges, so jhbuild can't do it on its own. Besides, we used to have some distro-specific dependency check in the past, but I someone (marcopg?) ripped it off, probably because it was a pita to maintain. </pre> </blockquote> I am talking about this: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Jhbuild/Fedora">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Jhbuild/Fedora</a> As I told I do not know how difficult can it be to automate so if it would be a lot of work then of course you should not put too much work into it. BTW text like "the dependency check will fail if you don't have a DISPLAY set" does not mean too much for Windows people like me (I did manage to google the answer so it was not a question). </body> </html>
