Étoilé Stable

Posted on 31 March 2007 by Yen-Ju Chen

We create a Étoilé stable branch for regular users. It can be obtained through svn:

svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/etoile/stable/Etoile Etoile

Components in stable branch are relatively stable. It is recommended for packagers to use stable branch instead of trunk. A simple <i>make</i> can build everything[1]. Here is a short list of what we offer in stable branch:

  1. Menu bar (MenuServer + EtoileWildMenu)
  2. Window manager (Azalea)
  3. Dock (AZDock)
  4. Desktop background (AZBackground)
  5. Modern theme (Camaelon)
  6. Dictionary (DictionaryReader)
  7. RSS reader (Grr)
  8. PDF viewer (Vindaloo)
  9. Address book (AddressManager)
  10. Calculator (Calc)
  11. Text editor (Typewriter)
  12. and many other components behind the scene
