cd garnome-2.9.2
make paranoid-install
I may live to regret this [;)]

Update: Build still progressing, have disabled building of gnome-volume-manager for safety (although if and when I build an updated hotplug for 9.1, I may redo it with g-v-m in place), and had to remove the PATCHFILES entry from the gnome-vfs Makefile, as the patch file didn't apply. It's now building libgnomeui.

(Can't report the patch problem on the list, still waiting for the DSL, and so the reappearance online of swamprat)

Update 2: Encountered GNOME bug #160693, lucky I found the existing bug entry before submitting it. I'll just be uploading a patch to fix it.

Update 3: After hitting, and patching against bug #160698, build has failed with control-center requiring libnautilus.pc which is no longer included in the nautilus 2.9 branch. Looks like we need a 2.9.x release of control-center.

[Full Story]

"According to a notarized affidavit signed by Clint Curtis, while he was employed by the NASA Kennedy Space Center contractor, Yang Enterprises, Inc., during 2000, [Florida Republican Representative] Feeney solicited him to write a program to "control the vote." At the time, Curtis was of the opinion that the program was to be used for preventing fraud in the in the 2002 election in Palm Beach County, Florida. His mind was changed, however, when the true intentions of Feeney became clear: the computer program was going to be used to suppress the Democratic vote in counties with large Democratic registrations."
