I have at least one private bzr repository that I have kept for many
years and still use actively, but I have not cloned another one in a
while. I have just checked.

You are right. What used to be
  bzr get
now seems to be
  bzr branch
. This does the same work as
  git clone
.

Hi,

The new GNU/Linux distributions (including Ubuntu 22.04 which seems to
be popular with students) introduce a serious incompatibility that
concerns the libgtksourceview2.0-dev package.

This package, which refers to libgtk2, seems not to be distributed
anymore, which forces Marionnet to make a series of quite spectacular
changes: we have to switch to lablgtk3, but also to a new version of
OCaml (>=4.12), but also to abandon Ocamlbuild (which poses problems it
didn't pose before), thus abandoning our build system (created by Luca
15 years ago), in favor of dune (for example).

So, before updating the tutorial, I have to work on making Marionnet
(and Ocamlbricks) compilable again. Then I will write the script
marionnet_from_scratch and the compilation tutorial.

To summarize, the compilation/installation of Marionnet on new GNU/Linux
distributions is currently broken and will be for at least a few days or
weeks.

Best regards,

Jean-Vincent Loddo

That is a pity. But I am happy that you are still maintaining Marionnet
and that people still find it useful. Thanks.
