The Geany-Plugins project The Geany-Plugins project is a combined release for each matching Geany release, starting with version 0.17. It includes a huge number of plugins for different purposes. Please have a look at http://plugins.geany.org/ for more information. ...
B. http://plugins.geany.org/install.html ... Install Geany-Plugins There are different ways to get the Geany-Plugins project onto your system. The easiest is to ask the package manager software of the distribution you are using. ...
This approach has led me to a complicated situation. Instead of focussing on the task at hand I am now trying to get Geany fixed.
I again draw your attention to Geany's USP, "...Another goal was to be as independent as possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME - Geany only requires the GTK2 runtime libraries..."
So how come Geany gets to depend on so many packages and breaks them(snapshots)? ;) I hope you would weigh the points I have raised.
And your email does not address my other issue: "There must be a system of specific configuration where the developers test their codes." What is the specific system you all use? Let me know and I will set up the same system to minimise fuss.
But first of all, I would compile the software from the source code and try to solve the issues. Let's see how this goes :)
