[opensuse-gnome] GNOME Activity Journal
by Adam Tauno Williams 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

When I run gnome-activity-journal I see no events. Possibly this is because if I go to preferences / plugins I see nothing listed? Should I see plugins? Are they required? If so, where to they come from? /usr/bin/zeitgeist-daemon is running. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Wiki page for GNOME:Ayatana
by Nelson Marques 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

Hi all, I've made some last time fixes on the wiki page for GNOME:Ayatana[1]. It's less bloated and as far as I am aware it does fit fine for this project. No I'm not volunteering myself to fix other wiki pages unless they are GNOME related and I certainly wouldn't like to become a 'wiki warrior'.

[opensuse-gnome] Some mono packages...
by Nelson Marques 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Guys, I'm asking this an advice... Should I submit an update request / new package for dbus-sharp-glib and some updates for mono packages in Factory ? I'm not really sure why they are not being updated while in Mono there's updated packages (even compared to Mono:Factory). I don't want to override no one, but I just think the whole situation is sad. I've sent some emails to the MOno maintainers, but got no replies and 3 returned as no longer active. I mean, it's not really my attitude to go after people... but it seems we might have to deal with orphan packages... As someone pointed to me, Fedora has a policy to handle this cases, and in openSUSE, wtf do we do?

[opensuse-gnome] Recently dropped / to-be-dropped packages
by Vincent Untz 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hi there, I guess this is some useful information, so here's a summary of packages that were recently dropped and packages that we will possibly drop in the near future. I'd appreciate help/feedback for the second category :-) Recently dropped: - the telepathy farsight1 stack: everything moved to farsight2, so we didn't need those anymore. . libjingle . farsight . gstreamer-0_10-plugins-farsight . telepathy-stream-engine - swfdec: it is not maintained anymore, and doesn't support recent flash. . swfdec . swfdec-gnome . swfdec-mozilla - python-clutter: using clutter from python should be done with gobject introspection now, and not those manual bindings for old versions of clutter. . python-clutter . python-clutter-gst . python-clutter-gtk - various packages related to thin client management: those were never really maintained in openSUSE, and one of them was using hal. So we just dropped them. . dmlangsel . file-shrimp . thinclient-greeter . thinclient-settings . thinclient-users Things we will possibly drop in the near future: - packages depending on libpanel-applet-2 (GNOME 2.x applets), that will not get ported to GNOME 3. . deskbar-applet (dead, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626223#c1) . libpanelappletmm (looks dead, and was only needed for gnote that won't use it anymore) And maybe: . contact-lookup-applet (depending on upstream) . drapes (upstream looks dead, so not going to be ported?) . gnome-main-menu (if not ported) . gnome-netstatus (depending on upstream) - maybe gnome-pilot-conduits: we need to check with upstream if it's still useful, but it needs gnome-pilot 2.x right now. A simple mail to upstream maintainer would do. - maybe pino: doesn't build, current branch is dead upstream and there's a preliminary new branch but it's in alpha, and doesn't look very active. - maybe nautilus-share: I'm not convinced it can easily be ported to nautilus 3.x, and it's really dead upstream as far as I can tell... Someone needs to investigate.

[opensuse-gnome] 11.4 Nautilus Issues
by Marco Calistri 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hello, I noticed two unexpected issues on Nautilus 3.0.2. [I'm too lazy to file a bug-report (bad example of linux user!) so I use this ML to spread out my feeling]. 1) If you save an image as JPEG-2000 (*jp2) then Nautilus crashes whenever attempting to open the folder containing such image. 2) If Nautilus is already opened (I.E. for burning a DVD) then you cannot open a new session from Gnome 3 Activity-Bar until previous Nautilus process completed. I think both behaviours are undesired and at least to me they are looking as Nautilus bugs.

[opensuse-gnome] Mentoring in the GNOME team
by Vincent Untz 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hey there, While watching Dominique reserve all of the packages to update for GNOME 3.1.2, I started thinking about mentoring some people who'd like to get involved in the team but don't know how to contribute. We already have several people working in the team doing various things, and that's great! But there might be others who only have half an hour every now and then and think they can't make a difference with that. And that's wrong! Half an hour is more than enough to complete a task. The biggest barrier, though, is that you might have time to learn what you can do in such a short period of time, and how to do it. Hence the idea of mentoring. It's easy to imagine small tasks that could be mentored: update a package, triage bugs, work on maintenance updates, look at features and propose a few ones for next version, etc. And it turns out that we can easily mentor people here. So I'm wondering out loud: are there people here who would like help on starting to contribute?

[opensuse-gnome] Updated osc collab wiki page
by Vincent Untz 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hey there, After Malcolm pushed him a bit, Nelson moved the osc collab wiki page to the new wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Osc_Collab (I updated it to say "osc collab" instead of "osc gnome" everywhere ;-)) This is some useful doc if you want to start collab -- which really makes your life easier!
