[opensuse-gnome] Less than 7 days for Nominations and Applications
by Andrew Wafaa 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

OK people listen up... please? Thanks! OK, just a reminder that you have less than 160 hours to register for the openSUSE board election if you haven't done so already. For the mathematically challenged, 160 hours is just under seven full days! Yes, that is how long you have left to get your membership[0] application in to be able to vote on the upcoming board election[1]. It is also the amount of time you have left to get your notification of intention to run for the first community elected Board[2]. You can only run for the board if you hold openSUSE Membership, you can only vote for your favourite candidates if you have openSUSE Membership. Do you see a pattern here? Good! Also it would be good if all of the current candidates could ensure that they have filled in their platforms on the as requested before then. Some have already, I appreciate that people are busy, but if you want to be on the Board (or vote for the board) you have to be prompt. Slackers will not be tolerated! ;-) Regards, Andy [0] http://en.opensuse.org/Members [1] http://en.opensuse.org/Board_Election [2] http://en.opensuse.org/Board_Election/2008 -- Andrew Wafaa, openSUSE Member: GNOME / Marketing / Board Election. openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.opensuse.org awafaa(a)opensuse.org | http://www.wafaa.eu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Packages to drop
by Vincent Untz 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hi, I think we should drop banshee (we're using banshee-1 now), helix-banshee (same reason) and evolution-python (integrated in python-gnome-desktop upstream). Any objection?

[opensuse-gnome] Topics for next meeting
by Vincent Untz 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hi, I'm going to edit the wiki (err, who knows what we should do to update the agenda page to the current week -- just change the date?), but here are two topics I'd like to discuss. I'm sending the mail for people who can't attend and who might want to comment. + Dropping/Adding packages: see my earlier mails about this. Let's just take a decision during the meeting + 'osc gnome' discussion: upstream versions for all modules, 'osc gnome update' (to ease package updates), etc. Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Packages needing love in G:F
by Vincent Untz 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi, I get this list from the script that runs in a cron job here: This is most probably all things we'd like to fix (note that for all telepathy-related stuff, it might involve changing the development project from telepathy to G:F and make the packages in telepathy link to the packages in G:F). Just sending the list now, in case someone has nothing to do this week-end ;-) Package gnome-do-plugins doesn't exist in openSUSE:Factory. Package WebKitGtk doesn't exist in openSUSE:Factory. Package brasero from GNOME:Factory is not a link. Package clutter-cairo from GNOME:Factory is not a link. Package clutter-gtk from GNOME:Factory is not a link. Package empathy from GNOME:Factory is not a link. Package fast-user-switch-applet from GNOME:Factory is not a link. Package glib2-branding-openSUSE from GNOME:Factory is not a link. Package gnome-do-plugins from GNOME:Factory is not a link. Package gnome-panel from GNOME:Factory is not a link. Package gnome-session from GNOME:Factory is not a link.

[opensuse-gnome] Finding latest upstream versions
by Vincent Untz 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi, I've added a script that is able to check out the latest upstream version for most modules maintained by the GNOME team (even if it's not living on ftp.gnome.org). Now, the missing part is that we need data on where to grab a latest upstream version. This is easy to do, except that it takes quite some time since we have many modules. Everybody can help here. First, check out what we currently have: git clone http://www.vuntz.net/git/osc-plugins.git/ cd osc-plugings/obs-dissector Then open upstream-tarballs.txt and read the comments at the top -- they should be pretty clear (especially once you started looking at the list that's already there). If not, tell me what's unclear. Now, go to http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/obs.py. If there's a yellow cell, then it means that we don't have data for this. Start looking where the tarballs for this module live and add the relevant data to upstream-tarballs.txt and gnome-opensuse-match.txt. If you find a location for which we don't have a method (like google code or launchpad), you should still add the module to the files, but the entry in upstream-tarballs.txt should be commented out. Then, either tell me where your git branch lives, or send me a patch! (you might want to send a mail or tell on IRC that you're working on this, to avoid duplicated work) Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] 'Add download capabilities' - Patch for 'osc gnome'
by Magnus Boman 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Hello, I wrote a patch for Vincent's 'osc gnome' plugin. It'll download the latest package (and try to verify the checksum) from GNOME when doing 'osc gnome up -r <package>'. I've never written anything in python before so appreciate any feedback. The patch can be downloaded from http://coolice.org/osc-gnome-add-download-functions.patch Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
