General Information
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
This is version 2.30.4 of gedit. gedit is a small and lightweight UTF-8 text
|
||||
editor for the MATE environment.
|
||||
|
||||
gedit is part of MATE and uses the latest GTK+ and MATE libraries.
|
||||
Complete MATE integration is featured, with support for Drag and Drop (DnD)
|
||||
from Caja (the MATE file manager), the use of the MATE help system,
|
||||
the MATE Virtual File System and the MATE print framework.
|
||||
|
||||
gedit uses a Multiple Document Interface (MDI), which lets you edit more than
|
||||
one document at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
gedit supports most standard editing features, plus several not found in your
|
||||
average text editor (plugins being the most notable of these).
|
||||
|
||||
gedit plugins may also be written in the python scripting language: to enable
|
||||
python support you need the pygtk and mate-python-desktop bindings.

|

||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
PyGobject 2.12.x, PyGtk 2.12.x and PyGtkSourceView 2.4.x are required to

|
||||

|
||||
% make # build gedit
|
||||
[ Become root if necessary ]
|
||||
% make install # install gedit
|
||||
|
||||
See the file 'INSTALL' for more detailed information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How to report bugs
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs should be reported to the MATE bug tracking system.
|
||||
(http://bugzilla.mate.org, product gedit). You will need to create an
|
||||
account for yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also report bugs using the MATE program bug-buddy.
|
||||
|
||||
In the bug report please include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Information about your system. For instance:
|
||||
|
||||
- What operating system and version
|
||||
- What version of X
|
||||
- What version of the gtk+, glib and mate libraries
|
||||
- For Linux, what version of the C library
|
||||
|
||||
And anything else you think is relevant.
|
||||
|
||||
* How to reproduce the bug.
|
||||
|
||||
* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the
|
||||
crash occurred.
|
||||
|
||||
* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not
|
||||
necessary. If you do send a stack trace, and the error is an X error,
|
||||
it will be more useful if the stack trace is produced running the test
|
||||
program with the --sync command line option.
|
||||
|
||||
See the file 'BUGS' for the list of known bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Patches
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
Patches should also be submitted to bugzilla.mate.org. If the patch
|
||||
fixes an existing bug, add the patch as an attachment to that bug
|
||||
report.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, enter a new bug report that describes the patch, and attach
|
||||
the patch to that bug report.
|
||||
|
||||
Patches should be in unified diff form. (The -u option to GNU diff.)
