[opensuse-gnome] tutorials needed
by Stephen Shaw 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I'm trying to collect some tutorials. The idea behind the tutorials is to help promote and help people on openSUSE. suseROCKS and sontek are helping out with this and we are hoping to work together with this project (opensuse-tutorials.com) and helping hands.

[opensuse-gnome] pulseaudio-glitch-free
by Rodrigo Moya 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hi I'm now running the what-would-be pulseaudio 0.9.11 a.k.a glitch-free, which I've packaged in my home:rodrigomoya:pulseaudio repository. The server is refusing to build the package now because of some rpmlint problems, so if you want to test it (please :-), just get the package with osc and build it locally until I fix the server problems: $ osc co home:rodrigomoya:pulseaudio pulseaudio-glitchfree $ cd home:rodrigomoya:pulseaudio/pulseaudio-glitchfree $ osc build --no-verify openSUSE_11.0 i586 pulseaudio.spec (replace openSUSE_11.0 with openSUSE_Factory if running FACTORY, and i586 with x86_64 if running on 64 bit) Any feedback appreciated, I will submit this to FACTORY in the next few days (if my testing goes well). -- 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] patch tagging day
by Rodrigo Moya 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Hi This next Friday (Jul 18th) we'll be holding a patch tagging and upstreaming day, with the intention of reducing the number of patches in our packages and marking clearly what all patches do. This will start at around 10AM CET and will last all day. It is also a good opportunity to test and learn the new build service collaboration features, since we will be tagging the packages in the build service FACTORY project. So anyone interested in both learning about the new BS features and helping in tagging/upstreaming patches in GNOME packages, please poke me on IRC and I'll try to coordinate people. -- 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] GNOME:STABLE urgently needs clean-up
by Stanislav Brabec 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hallo. I am getting a lot of bug messages, that GNOME:STABLE breaks other packages in older distributions (e. g. zypp for 10.3). Because there was no discussion about the GNOME:* reorganization, I want to raise this topic again. I want to propose splitting of the repository to fix these issues to these repositories: GNOME:GTK_STABLE: Safe to update packages from here. Optional, may be part of GNOME:STABLE. For gtk2, glib2, atk, pango, cairo... GNOME:GTK_UNSTABLE: Unsafe but consistent. Optional. (or maybe name it GNOME:GTK_NEXT or so) GNOME:STABLE: Safe to update packages from here. Official GNOME packages only (GNOME release cycle). GNOME:UNSTABLE: Unsafe but consistent. Optional. (or maybe name it GNOME:NEXT or so) GNOME:APPLICATIONS: Set of GNOME applications and GNOME application libraries. In all repositories above, no updates of dependent non-GNOME package will be allowed! openSUSE.org:GNOME:Factory: Until this scheme will settle, it will follow the Factory. All other packages: Identify, drop and find a way, how to provide safe update where it is required. Benefits of this: - No more broken distro packages. - Easy to switch Factory to the next GNOME - Easy to identify packages. If there are no complains, I will start with changes in the near future. -- 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
