Using LiveCrumbs refresher

It seems more and more people are getting into gnome-shell testing mode. They also seem to like some of the experimental features I am implementing in my branch. I decided to add an entry here that covers the steps you need to add gnome-shell livecrumbs to your gnome-shell jhbuild environment. Some of these steps were modified from a great write up done here by my good friend Augias.

First Step is to add my mutter branch to your local git repo and do a checkout.


cd ~/gnome-shell/source/mutter
git remote add -f linux4kix git://github.com/linux4kix/mutter.git
git checkout --track -b linux4kix linux4kix/linux4kix
git fetch
jhbuild shell
make
make install



Then the next step is to add my gnome-shell livecrumbs branch to your local build env.


cd ~/gnome-shell/source/gnome-shell
git remote add -f linux4kix git://github.com/linux4kix/gnome-shell.git
git checkout --track -b livecrumbs linux4kix/livecrumbs
git fetch
jhbuild shell
make
make install



Then you should be able to test things out with


gnome-shell --replace



Checking for new updates can be done with the following in both the mutter
and gnome-shell directories.


git fetch
jhbuild shell
make
make install



Then to go back for both mutter and gnome-shell do.


git checkout master
jhbuild shell
make
make install
