I installed Severn on my laptop today. I was pleasantly surprised after the general suckiness of Red Hat 8 and 9. So surprised in fact that I installed it at home to replace my mutant Red Hat 7.3 system.

This led to a rather interesting time as I installed GTK+ 2.3 again to try and make sure I really had gotten the *_DISABLE_DEPRECATED problem under control. Naturally I hadn't. With luck there will be a 2.4.1.1 release of gnome-games tomorrow to fix any GTK+ 2.3 breakage. gnome-games 2.5.0 is OK, it doesn't use any deprecated functions (although the macros will have to be removed at some stage).

It's just a matter of passing make distcheck now. That's something it can do while I sleep.
