The downside of course is not being able to get more testing on 10.2 - unless we can get that compatibility package built asap which might make 2.18 feasible on 10.2.
opt_gnome-compat works well and I am using 10.2+GNOME2.18 without any problems. That is why the repository is so large.
Nice! If thats the case, I guess there is no real issue, we should pre-announce that 2.18 is moving to G:S, explain that opt_gnome-compat is necessary for 10.2, actually move it and then start the 2.19 march in G:U.
It is not necessary, unless you have any package still present in /opt/gnome. This package deletes itself automatically after installation, it it considers itself as obsolete.
Things like rcxdm will still look for binaries in /opt/gnome right?
Only minor things don't work, e. g.:
- bi-prefix gstreamer plugins path (introduces bi-arch problems).
- Compilation against libraries linked against moved libraries before the move. This is a "feature" of libtool. Can be worked-around by a tons of symlinks to .la files or by deleting of these .la files.
Now, I'm not sure 2.19 is what we want to jam into factory immediately. Is there anyway we can work around that?
We can continue to work in GNOME:UNSTABLE. But it needs definitely consultation with Autobuild team. I cannot imagine merging of FACTORY patches to GNOME:UNSTABLE after several months of independent development.
