by Rodrigo Moya 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Contrib and G:C update • Judging from recent ML threads, there's increased interest on Contrib • Discussion about G:C drops/updates/moves in G:C on the opensuse-gnome ML: • packages obsoleted by ones in factory (banshee, f-spot, pidgin, python stuff, tomboy, tasque) • other obsoleted (gnome-vfs-obexftp) • If no more feedback by Monday, all this will be done Promotion of GNOME within openSUSE 11.1 • Addition of opensuse-specific developer info to GNOME wiki (http://live.gnome.org) Wiki work • Wiki mockup updated soon • Icons are going to be difficult to pull off (tango icons) • Meeting agendas will get more attention Dropping/adding packages • Postponing this to the beginning of 11.2, too late to remove from 11.1 1-click install for 2.24 • Still some build problems preventing ymp creation -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Unassigned bug - who is the lucky winner (Evolution)
by Bjørn Lie 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=384116 is in need of some love/action. We diverge from upstream and this leaves us with a broken translation. /quote ------- Comment #4 From Akhil Laddha 2008-07-09 05:02:53 MST ------- I feel we should replace 'get mail' string with 'send/receive' as we have in upstream. If we keep patch only for distro then it won't get translated. /end quote https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=343916 has been marked as a dup, but it should be the other way around, since the latter is from 10.3 days. It's probably a 2 min fix, but nobody has touched it, hence nothing has changed.

[opensuse-gnome] Libertarian Fonts in 11.1 GNOME
by Kevin Dupuy 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

In previous releases, users of the openSUSE DVD edition who installed GNOME were treated to agfa-fonts' Sans as the default font for the desktop. agfa-fonts have been dropped from the distro, as Liberation fonts have been determined to be a good replacement. I've been running the Liberation Sans as the default font for the desktop, and it does seem to equate to agfa-fonts. However, although Liberation is installed by default (with the DVD at least), I don't believe GNOME uses it by default. The problem is, that unlike agfa which replaced the Sans font included by default, Liberation adds another Sans, "Liberation Sans". Could we get the GNOME desktop to default to Liberation Sans by default, so our users won't have to be subjected to the "less-than-good-looking" Sans included now? -- Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy - openSUSE Member Assistant Organizer, Louisiana Libertarian Party Public Mail: <kevin.dupuy(a)opensuse.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] openSUSE GNOME meeting (2008/11/6)
by Rodrigo Moya 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Contrib and G:C update Contrib is getting renewal effort by yaloki Lots of issues (policies) need discussion (opensuse-contrib(a)opensuse.org) Anything not in OSS and stable enough is a good candidate for Contrib Some limitations already clear: • no packages that require updates in FACTORY http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib Promotion of GNOME within the context of openSUSE 11.1 "New app" series for the weekly newsletter on news.o.o being planned, one for GNOME and one for KDE Who volunteers for writing (1 per week, so with rotation we can do great) about some cool new app/feature being added that week? Dropping and adding packages libsvg and libsvg-cairo dropped this week glitz in the process of being dropped Galago stuff will be moved to G:C or dropped Is ntfs-config still of any interest? For others, see thread on opensuse-gnome(a)opensuse.org 1-click install of GNOME 2.24 for 11.0 Building not done, so not much progress here Next meeting agenda We need a 11.0 bugs review Using bugzilla for community tasks Contrib followup -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Unfinished business...(?!)
by Magnus Boman 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hello all, This email is a bit of a rant, which may (will) contain some factual errors, but it is an honest email, and any help on would be much appreciated :-) I just had a quick read back with regards to more or less important emails we send to this list and it seems that we're good at starting things, but not so good at finishing them... Some things come up more than once, but no decision (or progress) seem to be made, or at least none that is actually announced back to the list (and some are "completely forgotten"/"lagging"); A few topics; ============= G:C - Contrib Cleaning up the menus Dropping packages GNOME WIKI Update GNOME 2.24, One Click Update 11.1 Feature Review Keeping/Removing greeter We also seem to "forget" topics that we have talked about, due to people being responsible for those topics either didn't come along anymore, or they got busy with other things (discuss next IRC meeting topic etc). So... Regardless of "factual errors" above, I think we do need a way to track "issues" that are brought up. In the past, we tried to use both the WIKI and RTM, but neither of them worked due to either the admin overhead, or the fact that people must sign up and check one more site for stuff... My question is, what should/could we do to keep track of issues/suggestions/improvements etc so that 1) it's always kept up-to-date and 2) we can ensure that it's followed through... Sorry for the rant but... Currently sitting in "QLD - The sunshine state in Australia" and it's raining :-) Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Dropping libsvg & libsvg-cairo?
by Vincent Untz 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi, I've been wondering about those two packages: I don't think they're being used by anything, and I'm not really sure they're developped upstream anymore. Candidates for dropping?

[opensuse-gnome] gnome-patch-translation: changes of updating scripts
by Stanislav Brabec 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hallo. I just rewrote gnome-patch-translation supporting scripts. Purpose of supporting scripts: - get translations from LCN SVN - collect translations from patches in other packages - put fuzzy translations and pot files to LCN SVN Up to now, these script were dependent on internal tools. Now it may be started with only osc, svn and gettext being installed, so anybody can do an update. If you want to update, simply get the source and run attached scripts in order specified in HOWTO: ./update-step1-update-translations-from-lcn ./update-step2-update-strings-from-packages ./update-step3-upload-strings-to-lcn optional ./update-solve-upload-conflict ./update-step1-update-translations-from-lcn ... and submit package I hope that this works will allow simpler updating, which will not depend on me and my machine setup. It's already in GNOME:Factory and will appear soon in openSUSE:Factory. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
