And on a related note - after fighting with dpkg for two days, PyClutter 1.0 is now packaged and available from Extras-devel. This was a pre-requisite for using the GPU accelerated Clutter GUI library in modRana. I have not started on on the clutter-accelerated map view yet, but this package means that when I have something releasable, users will have all the needed dependencies. Technical note - What is Clutter ? Clutter is GPU accelerated GUI library that enables fast animated manipulation with graphical elements. Hildon uses a an old version of Clutter (0.8) for all its animations and transitions and Mappero uses clutter for its map view.
