what is the right way to update glib on Gobo linux I thought i did the NewVersion then glib and the version number followed by the git url but I can't see to Compile it

Depends on what you are trying to achieve: Do you want to update the glib recipe in our store? Our current packaged version is 2.82.1 which is quite recent.

To update glib to the most current version in our recipe store:

1. sudo Compile glib
2. Build GObject-Introspection: Compile GObject-Introspection
3. sudo EditRecipe glib and comment out -D glib_debug=disabled
4. Rebuild Glib: Compile glib

This process is documented in https://github.com/gobolinux/Recipes/blob/master/GLib/2.82.1/Recipe#L27

Sadly we have no tooling right now to automate such dependency cycle.

If you want to update the version of Glib in our store (should not be needed as we are quite recent):

• NewVersion Glib <new-version-number> (url is probably redundant, our tools do that automatically)
• Then to install this version follow the steps above
• Again you should not need a newer recipe than is in our recipe store
