Greg,
Not sure if you already received questions about GNOME 3.6 for tumbleweed, but I did some pre-staging work which hopefully helps you.
the repository https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home:dimstar:GS36 builds against Tumbleweed and has (hopefully) all the things needed to get GNOME 3.6 integrated into Tumbleweed (It's mostly a copy of GNOME:STABLE:3.6; all those packages made their way also in Factory, which is a prerequisite for Tumbleweed).
Very nice, thanks for this.
Do you have any particular integration tests you usually do?
Boot it and run it as my shell. If that works, and there was no problems doing a 'zypper dup' with the new repo, then we should be fine.
Expected fallouts: - Evolution API changes: anything building against evolution in TW is likely to break.
Who does that?
- Issues with gstreamer 1.0 / 0.10: some apps happen to link (directly and indirectly) to gstreamer 0.10 and 1.0 at the same time (rhythmbox is an example doing so.. fixed in home:dimstar:GS36 of course).
Bringing in rhythmbox should be fine here, right?
- glib did not have too intrusive changes, but it might still have a few fallouts (API strictness)
Hm, hopefully this will not be an issue, but this is scary.
- Not unlikely, other things have API changes which I do not remember about and am not fully aware of other things linking to it...
If there is anything I can verify for you, please let me know.
Thanks for doing this. When I get back from LinuxCon next week, I'll take a look at integrating this into Tumbleweed. Oh, a list of the packages and repos that are needed to link to, would be the best thing, so I don't have to dig it out "manually" from your repo. Do you have that listed somewhere? greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
