23 Mar '08

There were two other potential package drops that I forgot about and that are not currently bugs: 1) Drop contact-lookup-applet Vincent has a story here 2) glade-2 Can we call this completely replaced by glade-3? -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr(a)novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Updated mugshot package
by Justin Haygood 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Today I updated mugshot and desktop-data-model to the latest versions which fixed the last version which was broken on openSUSE 10.3. New features are compatibility with Firefox 2 and 3 cookies, etc.. I welcome you to test it out! It's currently in my home repository (home:jhaygood) with all required dependencies. If you like it, or there is something wrong, please let me know. Once enough people want to, I'd like to nominate this for GNOME:Community. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Fwd: [opensuse-packaging] Changes in the desktop menu part of the package conventions
by Vincent Untz 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

This means we can kill all the patches that just change desktop files to use GenericName instead of Comment. Yay! Vincent ----- Forwarded message from Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> ----- Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:31:20 +0100 From: Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)novell.com> To: opensuse-packaging(a)opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse-packaging] Changes in the desktop menu part of the package conventions Mail-Followup-To: opensuse-packaging(a)opensuse.org Hi, Starting a new thread with a clear title so everybody reads it :-) I've updated the desktop menu part of the package conventions [1] to fix some errors. See [2] for the discussion. Here's the detail of the changes: + GenericName is not the key used for the tooltip. It's the Comment key. Fixed the examples accordingly. + Make the examples valid .desktop files. Also use StartupNotify and StartupWMClass instead of old KDE-specific keys. + the Encoding key is deprecated, so I removed any mention of it. + Fix the description of the Icon key. The value can be an absolute path. Also link to the icon theme specification to explain where icons should be installed.

[opensuse-gnome] status
by Rodrigo Moya 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hi Tomorrow (and Friday) is a holiday here in Spain, so if I am at home at the time of the meeting, I will attend, but just in case I'm not, here's a status of the couple of things where I am mentioned in the meeting agenda: * patch upstreaming project nothing new to report, number of patches being reduced every day. Will run a 'osc listpatches' soon on openSUSE:Factory to check how much we have advanced. It needs to be complete by the time of Beta 1 (April 17th). Also, I would like to know status of evolution* packages' patches. * compiz/xgl config update: I have been looking at gnome-xgl-settings code, and it looks to me that we can safely remove it and move its functionality to a system-wide place. Discussion started on opensuse-factory@ and seems people agree. Now we just need to implement it :-) will talk to Matthias to see how to proceed If I'm not in the meeting, someone would need to take notes and post them to opensuse-project and opensuse-gnome (or just send them to me and I'll send the mails) -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] python-gtk Update from GNOME:Community breaks python-gtk
by Ivan N. Zlatev 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

The python-gtk update (2.12.0-22.1@i586) in G:C breaks python-gtk and consequentially all python-gtk apps. Package testing prior to release... anyone? Duh. >>> import gtk Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module> from gtk import _gtk ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so: undefined symbol: pyg_gerror_exception_check -- Ivan N.

[opensuse-gnome] Bug Buddy Suggestion
by Justin Haygood 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

I've been thinking, would it be a good idea to tie in Bug Buddy into the Novell Bugzilla (or some other place), so that all crashes are sent to us, regardless if its a GNOME application or just another application openSUSE distributes. The following extra metadata can be captured: 1. Packages (and versions) of application and all loaded libraries 2. (Potentially, don't know of zypp can do this): Repository of loaded library. The openSUSE-ified Bug Buddy can send this information up to us, and we can return if there has been updates to the affected packages at the same time. Bug Buddy can then notify the user that there has been updates to the package, and offer to install the updates (via opening YOU, or if PackageKit can be used, via PackageKit). Some other benefits: * If the package was part of the build service or a registered third party repository, the appropriate parties can be contacted. * Once a crash has been fixed, Bug Buddy can notify the user of this and offer to update the package. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] AbiWord for 11.0
by James Ogley 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

AbiWord 2.6.0 was just released this morning. I plan to have it built in G:C by the end of today (as soon as other duties have been discharged). Once it is, I'll post a heads-up - it would be great to get it into Factory in time for 11.0 as 2.4.x is simply ancient now. -- 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] Feature and Component Freeze
by Magnus Boman 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hello all, >From now, up until the 17th, we need to go through all RFE's and make a decision on them. No more features/enhancements are allowed to go in after this date. We also need to make sure that the version we have are up-to-date by this date. >From the 2nd of May, only Major/Critical/Blocker bug fixes are allowed. The way I see it, we need to work extra hard from now until the 17th to make decisions on various things, such as Desktop policies, Package includes/excludes, patterns etc (I've added all these to the agenda for the meeting on Thursday). We have made great progress so far with plenty of new features, updated packages etc and I believe that GNOME in openSUSE 11.0 is going to rock the world. Let's keep the good work up and make sure that we can also get this one out the door with as few open bug reports as possible. For more information about the schedule, have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap/11.0 Thanks, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
