Hm, that would mean when there is a stable Gnome 2.18 all people needs to change their repository URLs ?
Yes. Exactly this was my intention.
After GNOME 2.x 2.x+2 update, desktop often needs small reconfiguration and some things may even disappear.
Imagine that you are using 2.x and you will get 2.x+2 overnight. Your desktop is now different, needs some work to adjust it, and may be even less stable. And what is worse, there is no way to undo this change.
That would be always a bug IMHO. How does a user do an update from openSUSE x.y to x.y+1 (or SLE) otherwise ?
That's a reason, why I would like to see stable versions in form GNOME2xx. When GNOME 2.x+2 appears, we can let 2.x repository silently die in few weeks or months (i. e. stop updating and building).
or rest forever, because some stupid app does not get ported :/
with 2.x that problem should not happen, since all libraries are ABI-stable, so no need to port anything, apart from having apps use new features. But if they don't use the new features, they still should compile with the GNOME 2.x platform -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
