Even if you build from source, if you wish to avoid building the entire dependency chain above, add the Banshee repository to your repository list. Historically, Banshee has fostered development of a number of projects and bundled their source code instead of depending on external builds. Many of these dependencies have matured and grown into well maintained projects on their own, and we are now depending on them externally. We waited to remove the bundles long enough to allow for distributions to ship packages to reduce the pain of building Banshee. =============================================================================== REPORT BUGS - HELP THE PROJECT - GROW THE COMMUNITY =============================================================================== If you encounter any bad behavior with this release, please do not hesitate to file bugs! * http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=banshee&version=1.3.2 =============================================================================== VALUED BANSHEE CONTRIBUTORS =============================================================================== Contributors For This Release ----------------------------- The following people directly contributed to the release of this version of Banshee.
