As root Downloading and Installing from CVS (bleeding edge)If you like to keep upto date, you can obtain "bleeding edge" (not quite as I try to keep CVS code as stable as possible too), from the CVS repository. For more information please refer to this page.

A Note on DependenciesBesides the main Gtk+ and Gnome libraries, Peacock depends on some 3rd party libraries (3rd party as in, not part of the official Gnome distribution).
A Note on UninstallingPeacock is Free Software. Its not perfectly stable, but I try. I refuse to give instructions on how to uninstall Peacock. :-). Instead I encourage all users to keep using it, upgrading to the latest, bug-testing, submitting bug reports and patches (equally important). |
