I now have GNOME 3.4.1 running in Tumbleweed, but wow, it's tough to get installed due to some odd dependancies. Because of that, I don't feel comfortable moving it to the "main" openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo at this point in time (it's in openSUSE:Tumbleweed:Testing if anyone wants to play with it.)
Which dependencies are causing issue? Is the GNOME:Apps report part of Tumbleweed, it could hold some answers but vuntz/zaitor/DimStar would probably be best to answer.
Yes, I had to dump a few packages from GNOME:Apps in, as they would keep old libraries around, which caused a problem. That's not really all that big of a deal, although it could get "big". The biggest problem was the typelib-1_0 dependancies, that packages seem to need, yet you had to force the update by hand in order to get zypper to realize this, and then actually upgrade the package. That is something that we can't ask anyone "normal" to do, as it takes a long time and isn't automated. Although I guess I could say this is a bug in the GNOME packages that this happens, right? Has anyone had this problem with just using the GNOME:3.4 repo on 12.1? I guess I can go subscribe to the opensuse gnome list to talk about this there... thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Do you have specific details on this? We tried to smooth this in G:S:3.4 since this was indeed an issue for some packages, so I would expect that this works fine for Tumbleweed too. We should fix the issue you see :-) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
