** Workflow
Doing our ongoing development in GNOME:UNSTABLE will make it easier for anyone interested in contributing to do so.
When will we start this? ie should we be submitting internally only still for now?
It is not a technical problem, it is a work-flow problem. Please consult with aj and coolo, what can be done to not conflict between ongoing development of GNOME:UNSTABLE and ongoing development of Factory.
I think the right thing to do is to ask the autobuild team to reject submissions for anything that'll go into /work/SRC/all/GNOME unless it comes from GNOME:UNSTABLE or another repository in the build service.
Well, then we need a way, how people could do global changes in GNOME packages (e. g. BuildRequires after package rename / branch, new CFLAGS,...).
We might use technical solutions to solve this problem - e. g. making snapshot of Factory packages in a moment of starting separate development in G:U, but success ratio of an automatic spec and patch merging is not as good as one could expect (I guess ~70%).
I think any plan for this that requires any manual merges, other than merges within a single branch (in the terms of a proper version control system) or project, would be a real mistake.
Standard version control system does not work well for packages - spec files changes are concentrated in preamble and %prep and you get a lot of rejects there. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
