Installing 2.0.0 (current stable)
Bluefish depends now on gvfs if you want to trade with remote files.
- GVFS is work in progress, you need almost to have glib 2.18 (Slack 13.0) to hope it works; GSB (2.28.2) use glib2 2.22.4 and gvfs 1.4.3.

You can use your bluefish.SlackBuild 1.0 for Bluefish 2.
