Hi,
We're going to ship glib 2.28 in openSUSE 11.4, since 2.28 should be out in December.
There's one change that we must prepare for, though: the way URI scheme handlers are registered changed. Before, applications used to register themselves in gconf (see /desktop/gnome/url-handlers). The new glib won't support that anymore and will use the MIME type system.
See Bastien's post for some more background: http://www.hadess.net/2010/10/new-control-center-and-you.html
What does it mean for us? It means that we have to patch various packages for this, and the good news is that by doing this, we can help upstream. It's really easy to do, and I'm looking for volunteers :-)
Below are some instructions. It's a bit long. And it's late here, so maybe they won't be really clear to everyone ;-) But just ask if you want to help and face an issue.
I suggest to move this to the wiki as part of further GNOME Jobs if nobody picks it up directly, Great writeup, thanks!
