Can we see if GNOME:STABLE:2.32 builds well for Factory?
Just wondering: why would you want that? If you're interested in having a GNOME 2 look and feel in Factory, then look at the fallback mode in GNOME 3 -- it's a good start, and only needs some little bits to be really nice.
(this was mentioned several times in the past, fwiw)
Look, Vincent, there was even Gnome 2.30 for those who prefer it to 2.32 and Gnome 2.30 for those who prefer it to Gnome 2.30. I think the change from 2.32 to 3.0 is much greater.
I think you misunderstood how we use GNOME:STABLE:*: we never had GNOME:STABLE:2.30 as a way to downgrade from 2.32; it was available for 11.3 so that 11.3 users could enjoy the latest GNOME 2.30.x releases (instead of staying with GNOME 2.30.0 that was in 11.3). We also made GNOME:STABLE:2.32 so that 11.3 users could have GNOME 2.32 if they wanted to upgrade from 2.30. Basically, we never allowed users to downgrade GNOME through those repos.
Regarding fallback, I did not try this, but I was told that QtCurve will not work with it as well as gtk-qt-engine. Also I was told anecdotes that it has the clock exactly in the center without ability to move it and other curious stories.
You can move the clock, and I'd be happy to hear the other curious stories -- a lot of them are unfortunately misinformed. However, the QtCurve/gtk-qt-engine issue might be real, indeed. But I don't think this issue alone is worth the effort maintaining GNOME 2.x for openSUSE, while upstream stopped maintaining it and everybody has moved on. This is just my opinion, of course, and everybody is free to do that -- it's free software, after all.
