[opensuse-gnome] G:F status, osc gnome news & G:S
by Vincent Untz 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Hi all, I guess it makes sense to send a quick mail about all this before the meeting. We'll be able to discuss all this if needed during the meeting. G:F status ========== GNOME:Factory has GNOME 2.26.0 (except for anjuta and sound-juicer, I believe). The build against Factory itself should be finished before the meeting (actually, it might be finished before I'm done with this mail). The build against 11.1 will take a bit longer, but it seems it might be done in the next few hours too. Here's the list of packages we need to update: + epiphany/metacity: we have 2.26.0, but there are already some 2.27 tarballs. We block them for the moment. + g-wrap/libmcs: I filed drop requests. + NetworkManager and friends: we have permission from Tambet to update them, but it might be non-trivial :-) + abiword: just appeared. It shouldn't be hard, except that I think we should split abiword-plugins in its own package. There's no real point in having both tarballs there, I think + gnome-do: shouldn't be hard. Any gnome-do enthusiast? I also saw that there's a gnome-do-plugins tarball that we might want to package. + gnome-phone-manager: Magnus is working on it, iirc. + gnucash: same. + gobby: we have submissions for this. Help to review libinfinity is welcome, since it ships with a system daemon and I don't trust my review abilities for this... + gstreamer-0_10-plugins-farsight: I'm blocking this for now, since some plugins were moved to gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad, but we need a new upstream release of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad for them. + libwebkit: any volunteer? Else, I might give it a try... + monsoon: I think it requires monotorrent, or something like this. Someone should look at that. + rhythmbox: just appeared. Let me take it :-) osc gnome news ============== While waiting for GNOME 2.26.0 to build (locally in my jhbuild, and in the build service for packages), I worked a bit on osc gnome to bring two new things: + the first one is self-explanatory: osc gnome todo --project GNOME:STABLE:2.24 Yes. We can use osc gnome with GNOME:STABLE! For now, the todo command will only list packages that are part of the official GNOME release. If we want to update other packages, it's possible with some small work. + the second one is that osc gnome is now completely independent from oS:F and G:F: those projects are not used anywhere anymore in the code (except for the default values, which people can easily change). This means the plugin is getting more and more ready to conquer the world ;-) It's all in the git repo right now, and if it works fine after a few days, I'll update the osc-plugins-gnome package in openSUSE:Tools. Note that I need to change a bit the way reservations work so that they are per-project. Right now, if you reserve gnome-panel in G:F, it will also mark it as reserved in G:S:2.24, which is obviously wrong. I'll fix this before next week (I might have time for it tonight) GNOME:STABLE ============ With osc gnome working with GNOME:STABLE, it's now possible to easily update everything that needs to be updated in GNOME:STABLE. There are some questions to discuss (the meeting sounds like a good time for that): + creation of G:S:2.26: when? And when it's created, should we move G:F to 2.27? + what kind of package updates go in. I think it doesn't make sense to do work on cleaning the packaging (this is something that should be done in G:F) unless it fixes a bug. So I propose to only package new upstream versions, or add patches to fix bugs. + handling of security issues: if there's a security update for 11.1, we need to make sure the relevant patch also appears in G:S. How can we do this?

[opensuse-gnome] openSUSE-GNOME Team meeting: NEW TIME!
by Bryen 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Well, we've been experimenting with best times for our weekly meetings for the openSUSE-GNOME Team, and *hopefully* we've found our sweet spot. This week's meeting will be held at the new time of 19:00 UTC on Thursday, March 19th, 2009 in the #opensuse-gnome channel on the Freenode network. This will be the permanent time for us (i.e., no more timeshifted meetings) This week, we'll be continuing JPR's proposal for core team maintainers. It should be a good discussion. Also, GNOME 2.26 has been released and is about to be in GNOME:Factory. We'll be discussing plans for the next step (2.27) going into Factory. Special kudos goes to Magnus (captain_magnus) and Luis (metalgod) for their hard work getting this done. You know, we were supposed to have a packaging day organized for this week, but those guys actually finished most the work ahead of time! And of course, we'll have the great policy review session from Vuntz. He's always bringing up interesting topics for us to think about. So see you all at the meeting. New time and hopefully permanent time! -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member openSUSE-GNOME Team Member GNOME-A11y Team Member -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] What is the top 5 things that should be fixed/improved for GNOME in openSUSE 11.2?
by Magnus Boman 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hello, Since we have 8 months before the 11.2 release, would it be possible to compile a list with the top 5 most annoying things in GNOME/openSUSE and try to fix them? We obviously need to be realistic about these goals. Issues might include stuff like, "Panel should be at the top of the screen", "We should use the default GNOME menu", "Tomboy should not be started by default" etc? Other annoying things might not be as simple as I just mentioned but, you get the idea... Also, please don't include PA in this discussion... It's being discussed/fixed elsewhere :-) 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] openSUSE-GNOME Team meeting minutes from 05-March-2009
by Luis Medinas 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hi These are the meeting minutes from the openSUSE-GNOME Team on 05-March-2009: * 11.2 planning: -The Team agreed with shipping GNOME 2.28 for this release still we need to have some hard work to get everything in time because we have to break feature freeze for 11.2. * Random Bugs: - We stated that we should remove ggreeter from GNOME and write a new application called "About openSUSE" or "About My Computer" in order to give the same information without spamming the user at the first boot. - Discussed Pulseaudio problems, sreeves is doing his best to fix as much bugs as possible by providing packages with and without Glitch Free. * GNOME:Factory Status: - The current GNOME:Factory repository contains the latest GNOME 2.25.92 (release candidate). There's just a few minor issues but it's ready to be used (it was already migrated for oS:F and build for 11.1). - The Team also agreed that some package specs needs to be cleaned. - Also there are some packages that needs to be removed from G:F such as eel, ncb and probably a few others. * Mailing List Threads: - Nautilus-cd-burner removal: There are patches in upstream for f-spot and recently Rhythmbox start using Brasero (replacement for n-c-b).

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:Factory status
by Vincent Untz 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hey all, Quick status update about GNOME:Factory: + G:F has GNOME 2.25.92 + it's nearly up-to-date wrt upstream versions. There are 18 packages for which we are late: - 2 already submitted packages (pidgin, gnome-bluetooth), needing a review - 1 package blocking on the gnome-bluetooth update (gnome-phone-manager) - 5 reserved packages (gnome-icon-theme, gnome-packagekit, gthumb, ldtp, sound-juicer) - 2 packages that I think we should just drop (g-wrap, libmcs) - gobby which is hard. There's actually an update available in another project (see bug #473320), so if someone can look at it, that'd be great - NetworkManager and NetworkManager-gnome that, I think, most people just leave to Tambet. But Tambet welcomes help here :-) There are many patches (most of them are upstream now), so it might be difficult. - gstreamer-0_10-plugins-farsight which is weird because we have to patch the tarball. I know it stopped me from updating it... - gnome-power-manager, gnucash, nautilus, qtcurve-gtk2: all waiting for an update. I will actually do nautilus and qtcurve-gtk2 right now ;-) + everything builds fine (and should install fine) on both 11.1 and Factory, except: - evolution-sharp: doesn't build because eds is too recent. We need a new upstream version, or a small patch (that should be trivial) - beagle-index: doesn't build on factory because the Xvnc has been disabled at the moment in factory + I pushed everything (125 updated packages) to openSUSE:Factory a few minutes ago Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Updated packages in GNOME:Community
by Ivan N. Zlatev 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hey, I have updated in GNOME:Community file-browser-applet to 6.0.1. and pidgin to 2.5.5. I had to disable the nonblocking patches because they are no longer applying cleanly. I have no idea what's the story of those patches is but if someone wants to step up and update them and re-enable them - you are welcome. -- Kind Regards, Ivan N.

[opensuse-gnome] Removing nautilus-cd-burner from G:F
by Luis Medinas 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi For GNOME 2.26, nautilus-cd-burner as been marked deprecated[1] in favor of Brasero. Currently G:F has 3 packages depending on it, rhythmbox, f-spot and gnome-python-desktop. For rhythmbox[2] and f-spot[3] there is a patch on upstream waiting to be reviewed and commited to the tree. As for gnome-python-desktop there are also bindings for brasero in development and the current ncb bindings could be disabled. So should we keep ncb in G:F until 2.28, remove it or move it to G:C ?

Re: [opensuse-gnome] Overview of rpmlint warnings in G:F
by Suman Manjunath 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

>>> Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)opensuse.org> 02/28/09 10:42 AM >>> > http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/rpmlint.py?type=non-utf8-spec-file There is a problem with fixing this warning. Most of the non-utf8-ness comes from the "Authors" list in the spec file. So, even if we fix it in our local/G:F repos, when it is submitted to oS:F, that fix just gets discarded as the PDB entry for the "Authors" list takes precedence. Any idea how we can avoid that (besides attempting to change the PDB entry itself)? -Suman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
