[Mono-dev] gtk-sharp bootstrap vs. bootstrap-2.4

[Rafael Teixeira]

Things have changed and documentation hasn't been updated.

bootstrap-2.4 is for those targetting systems with gtk-2.4 installed
(the biggest number).
bootstrap targets the version of gtk this is already packaged with
many released distros. Currently this means 2.6  but in the future
this will be renamed bootstrap-2.6 and bootstrap will track 2.8, 2.10,
etc.
bootstrap-for-the-insane targets the just released and packaged into
at least one big distro version of gtk, what currently means 2.8.

As cycles are getting faster, we probably will need a
bootstrap-for-the-even-more-insane to track 2.10... he he, just
kidding.

Seriously, I think we should start just having then always
synchronously numbered

bootstrap-2.4
bootstrap-2.6
bootstrap-2.8
bootstrap-2.10

and have a bootstrap printing a big banner: "using bootstrap-2.X"
current at the time and calling the apropriately numbered one.

Fun,
