[opensuse-gnome] osc gnome database next week
by Vincent Untz 12 Dec '08

12 Dec '08

Hi there, Just a heads up: I'll be travelling next week, so the database behind some of the osc gnome features will not be updated as often as it usually is. It shouldn't be a big issue, except for people wanting to help Magnus on GNOME:Factory:Next ("osc gnome todo" might not be up-to-date in this case) I'll still try to do one update per day, but I can't promise anything before Thursday.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:Factory:Next
by Magnus Boman 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

Hello! Thanks to hub, we now have a project called GNOME:Factory:Next in which we will start updating to the latest GNOME for both openSUSE 11.1 and Factory. Thanks to vuntz, we can also use 'osc gnome' [1] for this task. You can either edit ~/.oscrc and add the following line to the General section; gnome_projects = GNOME:Factory:Next Or add --project=GNOME:Factory:Next on the command line. You are all invited to help out :-) If you are unsure of the 'Best Practices' on how to update packages, see my blog post [2] Thanks, Magnus [1] http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/OscGnome [2] http://www.coolice.org/blog/?p=33 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 2.26 for openSUSE 11.1
by Magnus Boman 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hello, The KDE people, when they build newer KDE for older versions of openSUSE, use their Factory project. If the older openSUSE version doesn't provide a requirement (eg, a newer version of a package from the base distribution), they link it to their KDE Factory repo, and disable that particular package for the Factory build. Have a look at KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop and for instance the libgpod3 package to see what I mean. I'd like to do the same when we do backport GNOME 2.26 for openSUSE 11.1. Would this approach be OK with everyone? Thanks, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] G:C on 11.1 - failures
by James Ogley 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

The package checks on 11.1 are a lot more stringent than on previous products which mean that a lot of packages that are in G:C fail even though they build. There's a list at http://tinyurl.com/5olq56 - can maintainers of any packages on G:C go through this list and attempt to fix issues where they exist. In some cases, issues may need to go upstream (pidgin's one of these for example) but in some cases, it might be a packaging issue. Any problems, shout. -- James Ogley, openSUSE Member: GNOME Team and Planet SUSE. riggwelter(a)opensuse.org http://opensuse.org/GNOME http://planetsuse.org openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.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] GNOME Team AI's
by Magnus Boman 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

Hello Team, We've now started tracking our AI's in bugzilla. Each individual who has an AI will be assigned to the "bug" report. For now, I have volunteered to be the AI Master (ie, the QA Contact of the report will be me). If/When you create an AI in bugzilla, it's important that you follow these steps; 1. Create a bug against the openSUSE.org Product 2. Select Action Items 3. Put in the AI description in both "Summary" and "Description" and explain the AI further in Description if needed 4. *Important* If you know the email address of the person that's assigned to the AI, put it in "Assign To", else put captain.magnus(a)opensuse.org in there. Also set "QA Contact" to myself (captain.magnus(a)opensuse.org) All our AI's can be tracked via http://tinyurl.com/6bels7 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] G:C 11.1
by James Ogley 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

11.1 release is moving ever closer and - one assumes - G:C will be in the list of Community Repositories again. Unless there are significant objections between now and then, I intend to add an openSUSE_11.1 target to G:C on Tuesday morning, around 0900 +0000. -- James Ogley, openSUSE Member: GNOME Team and Planet SUSE. riggwelter(a)opensuse.org http://opensuse.org/GNOME http://planetsuse.org openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.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] Sneak Peek Wiki Page
by Kevin Dupuy 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

As discussed in the last GNOME meeting, the wiki page for the GNOME Sneak Peek article topics and draft is now up, at http://en.opensuse.org/Sneak_Peeks/GNOME_Draft I've written the introductory paragraph, as well as the main desktop screenshot. In the page are resources for writing the article, including screenshots from RC1 and previous Sneak Peek articles (of which I suggest we look at the 10.3 ones, with all the pictures and such, that article is what I'd like this one to be like). After covering the topics, it'll be stitched together into a nice, professional article and uploaded to openSUSE News as a Sneak Peek.
