Hello,
Just a quick update on the backporting of 2.24 for openSUSE 11.0. I'm not entirely sure that we should actually "release" this even if we fix up the few remaining build issues [2]. Reason for that is that we would have to maintain a separate xorg-x11-libs [1] package. This package currently have pixman built-in to it and the version in 11.0 is older than what's required.
When we start working on the GNOME 2.26 upgrade for 11.2, we can also make it build for 11.1 straight away, making it much easier to maintain, and we will be able to detect these sort of issues early in the cycle and hopefully have it fixed relatively quick.
Thoughts?
FWIW, I think this is an interesting project, but I know I'll be unable to help with it. What is probably needed is to have people running the stable version of openSUSE to actually use those packages to detect what's wrong -- building is a first step, but it's not enough ;-)
well, if we have 2.25 packages for the stable 11.1 since the beginning, it would be a bit easier for us (novell employees) to help on this, since we should be able to test the packages very soon, and with probably more stability than running early Factory kernels and similar things. Of course, it would be great if Andrew and Magnus continued being the responsible for the task, so that we can make sure we start fixing issues as soon as we start adding 2.25 packages -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
