[opensuse-gnome] GNOME status (12/06/2009)

Hey,
It's been a while since the last status mail -- May was busy with the
community week, so that could explain part of it (but not all ;-))
I'll start by saying that we could still do with help on various things:
highlighting major bugs that need to be fixed, making some stats for our
progress, etc. There are also quite some apps that we'd like to see
packaged. How to help? Easy, just join #opensuse-gnome on IRC or mail
the list :-)
Summary:
+ GNOME:Factory saw lots of action, and now features GNOME 2.27.2
+ GNOME:STABLE:2.26 was updated to 2.26.2
+ openSUSE 11.1 LiveCD Reloaded with GNOME 2.26
+ we have GNOME:Contrib! New packages! And we should migrate
GNOME:Community packages there
+ some osc gnome fixes
GNOME:Factory
=============
It moved a lot :-) Since last time, we move to GNOME 2.27.2 (with some
2.27.1 and 2.26.2 love before that).
Various interesting tidbits:
+ as featured in milestone 2, we have a new default look with Sonar
(theme) and the fifth leg font used for window titles. Comments and
bugs welcome!
+ we started migrating packages to xulrunner191. This is not finished,
and help to complete the task is welcome. See
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501397
+ we moved monsoon to Mono:Factory, where it will be better maintained
+ Tambet pushed the new NetworkManager stack. Yay!
+ we have DeviceKit-disks (thanks Magnus!), but also
gobject-introspection! And probably some other new packages I
forgot...
+ there's a new rarian-scrollkeeper-compat package, that installs
scrollkeeper-compatible binaries. If we want to completely move away
from scrollkeeper, this is a good first step. Note that you need to
use update-alternatives to setup your system to use those binaries
instead of the ones from scrollkeepr.
+ we created a bundle-lang-gnome-extras package, as a complement to
bundle-lang-gnome. It contains translations for packages not handled
by bundle-lang-gnome. You'll love it.
As of today, we're mostly up-to-date for our packages. The current list
of build failures:
+ beagle-index: usual build failure, now... It breaks easily with
Factory anyway
+ clutter-cairo: it's deprecated and should get dropped. I filed a
request for this already.
+ clutter-gst: doesn't build with the new clutter. A new upstream
version should be out soon. Not a big problem since nothing depends
on it right now.
+ dmxviewer: fails to build on 11.1. No idea, someone would need to
look at it.
+ gnome-do-plugins: fails to build because we need flickrnet in
openSUSE. Trying to get someone of Mono:Factory to push it.
+ telepathy-idle: fails to build because of a glibc headers issue.
See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507930
And not-up-to-date packages:
+ epiphany: this is the switch to webkit. The main issue here is that
we'd need a new epiphany-extensions tarball that isn't out. But we
can use the version from git. Any volunteer to work on that?
+ gnome-games: I have it ready here, except that it doesn't build
because it requires a newer unreleased clutter... Should be out soon.
+ gnome-packagekit: 2.27.2 is out but one patch doesn't apply. Scott
might be looking at it, not sure.
+ gobby: we finally have a solution here. We'll rename the current
gobby to gobby04, and accept the submission. Just need to do it :-)
I also just pushed the latest GNOME:Factory to openSUSE:Factory.
GNOME:STABLE:2.26
=================
It now has GNOME 2.26.2, and it's all cool.
We've been working on a LiveCD with openSUSE 11.1/GNOME 2.26. It's
living at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=gnome-reloaded&project=GNOME%3AMedias
Jigish might have an update to share there. But I guess it's nearly
ready?
We have some good documentation on how to use G:S:2.26:
http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/2.26
Feel free to edit the page to improve it.
We also have a tracker bug for G:S:2.26 bugs:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493750
GNOME:Contrib
=============
So this is all new. We now have a GNOME:Contrib project for packages
that don't live in the main openSUSE repository but that we want to
maintain, following the openSUSE development cycle. Those packages will
end up in the Contrib project.
We have 17 packages there right now (glom! jhbuild! gwibber! and more).
So now we could start migrating packages from GNOME:Community to
GNOME:Contrib. This is tracked at
http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Packaging/GNOME:Contrib
osc gnome
=========
An updated version of osc-plugins-gnome should soon land in
openSUSE:Tools (you can grab it from home:vuntz for now). It contains a
few interesting things:
+ works with latest osc. Can be useful.
+ stop update/setup commands if there are uncommitted changes in an
already checked out package.
+ add details for some blocked/expansion error/broken during the
build/buildsubmit commands. This is a small change that is actually
awesome.
