[opensuse-gnome] asparagus-optional-wallpapers ?
by Nelson Marques 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

Hi all, I've seen on deviant art a few cool wallpapers[1]. This artist has them available (at least the ones I checked, and no I didnt checked all) as CC-SA 3.0 which should be pretty much compatible with out licence. Anyway we can select a few (they are already available in the most popular formats) and make a package to include with GNOME3 for 12.1 as optional wallpapers (not defaulted but if possible in the default install)?

[opensuse-gnome] RFC: Update of GNOME patterns
by Vincent Untz 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi, One last step we need to complete to finish the GNOME 3 integration is to update the patterns so that the LiveCD, the DVD and default installs get the right stuff. I've attached a patch to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=703419 and now is your last chance to comment :-) Here's a summary of the changes: - replace f-spot (recommended) with shotwell, as discussed within the team; keep f-spot as suggested - add new required packages: gnome-session-default-session, gnome-session-fallback-session => they define the GNOME sessions, and bring required components - complete list of recommended branding packages: gdm-branding-openSUSE, gio-branding-openSUSE, gnome-panel-branding-openSUSE, gtk3-branding-openSUSE, libsocialweb-branding-openSUSE - add new recommended packages: aisleriot, at-spi2-core, gnome-tweak-tool, sushi => aisleriot was split from gnome-games => at-spi2-core is the new accessibility stack => gnome-tweak-tool is useful to most people => sushi is a nice previewer - move recommended (or required) packages to suggested as they're not as useful in GNOME 3: dasher, gconf-editor, gnome-applets, gnome-do, gnome-main-menu, gnome-media, gtk2-engines, hamster-applet, paprefs, pavucontrol - remove recommended packages related to theming: gtk2-metatheme-sonar, fifth-leg-font, gtk2-engine-murrine => we changed the default theme, and the branding packages will bring the right theming-related packages anyway - keep gnome-applets recommended in the optional patterns (for DVD) - remove mentions of GNOME 2 packages, that are not useful anymore: at-spi, gnome-mag, gnome-themes, libgail-gnome - add new suggested packages: evolution-exchange, evolution-groupwise, frogr, grisbi, mangler, nautilus-actions, pinpoint, smuxi, synapse, the-board - rename packages, following changes: evolution-tracker to tracker-miner-evolution, glade3 to glade - remove mentions of removed packages: deskbar-applet, glib2-branding-openSUSE, gnome-docker, gnome-speech-devel - remove pinentry-gtk2: I'm not even sure why we have that - remove explicit mentions of packages that will be brought in: gnome-desktop, gtk2, metacity 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] notify-sharp with dbus-sharp/glib
by Nelson Marques 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

Hi all, In case anyone maintains applications that use notify-sharp, would it be possible to test them with a modified version of notify-sharp that uses dbus-sharp and dbus-sharp-glib instead of NDesk.DBus ? I have such a test package on Banshee:Unstable/notify-sharp. As far as I could understand NDesk.DBus is becoming deprecated in favor of dbus-sharp and Banshee already made the transition. Though I haven't found issues with dbus-sharp vs ndesk-dbus, the same doesn't happen with ndesk-dbus-glib vs dbus-sharp-glib which have some conflicts. Please report in if the application you maintain works with dbus-sharp so maybe we can ditch the deprecated NDesk.DBus. It's important because I would like to submit the patch upstream being sure that it doesn't break anything and then submit it to Mono and slingshot it to Factory so we can have Banshee 2.1.0 (or superior in the future) on Factory.

[opensuse-gnome] Default gnome-panel layout for 12.1
by Vincent Untz 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

Hi, In the fallback mode (and maybe the "GNOME 2 Look and Feel" session that Nelson wanted to work on), we currently ship the upstream default layout. This is largely different from what we used to ship before, with gnome-main-menu. I don't know if we want to change this for 12.1, and opinions are welcome. A few things that might be important in the discussion: + with the default layout, the fallback mode is (or tries to be) close to the gnome-shell look and feel. So changing the default layout might result in some inconsistency when people have to use the fallback mode + gnome-main-menu is not ported to GNOME 3 technologies yet. So unless someone does the job, we can't use it.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME Status in Factory
by Vincent Untz 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Hey, Just a quick status mail: - GNOME 3.1.3 is in G:F and seems to work fine - some more GNOME 3 integration work occurred in G:F too (including moving branding to gsettings, from gconf, as well as hardening dependencies to make sure that everything you need for the session gets installed) - hopefully, my fix to show the installer on the livecd in gnome-shell (in G:F) works, we'll know soon - all this has been pushed to Factory last night - I'll push my change to patterns once our Factory push is accepted We still have bugs left regarding GNOME 3 integration (you can check in bugzilla). Some are packaging-related, some requires coding (Gary has been helping there, that's great!). More hands are always welcome :-) Alternatively, we still can find easy tasks to work with, if people want to get mentored to start contributing. Just join #opensuse-gnome and ping DimStar or me :-) Cheers, 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] Suggestion for 12.1 - Shave GNOME LiveCD
by Nelson Marques 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hi, I would like to leave a recommendation/suggestion for the upcoming 12.1 (though I do not understand in full how much changes would be required). Could we shave up the LiveCD? With shaving up I mean remove all the superfluous stuff for which a good example would be 'virtualization tools'. This is a nice addon for people to install if they want and I don't it should be a part of the standard Desktop. I mean GNOME LiveCD is oriented for Desktop usage right? My question is, is there anything you guys remember that can be shaved from the LiveCD? From services to superfluous software... What can we shave from it for performance?

[opensuse-gnome] Default theme for 12.1: back to upstream for now
by Vincent Untz 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hi all, I just changed packages in G:F so that by default, the theme we use is upstream's. This means the adwaita gtk+ and window themes, and the gnome icon theme. This was done because it simply reflects what we have today: this is the only reasonable theme we can ship at the moment. If we want to change this, we'll have to get a nice theme working on gtk+ 2 as well as gtk+ 3.
