Hi all,
Over the past few days, I took some time to start merging G:F:N updates in G:F. Thanks a lot to the people who worked on G:F:N, it was a good way to stay updated with the latest versions.
Awesome. We should probably do a debrief about what worked and what didn't work once all packages have been merged so that we can do this better and faster next time.
The merge went fine overall. I took the opportunity to look at the packages closely, and fixed various other things (wrong BuildRequires, eg), sent various patches upstream (I was bad enough to not tag them in the spec files, though :/), dropped various old unneeded patches, etc.
There are only a few packages left. Here's a summary of why I left those packages:
=============== avahi: it's probably okay, but I'd love to have Stanislav double-check
devhelp: depends on webkit. I'm not sure the webkit we have right now is of good quality (it's quite old). So do we want this?
If there's a newer version of webkit, any reasons we can't update? Isn't upstream moving towards webkit for devhelp? What are the side effects of using it?
empathy: was looking at the updated empathy-lockdown.patch patch, and wondering if it had been sent upstream... Not really a blocker ;-)
evolution evolution-data-server evolution-exchange: too big for "osc rdiff", so I got lazy and ignored them for now
Good news; https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461729 (In short, check out osc from svn and it can rdiff without including tarballs)
gdm: I think it needs a manual merge (broken patch) Didn't look closer.
I have not had time to look at this but do we know what/how patches are broken for this and other packages? They all built nicely in G:F:N the last time I checked.
gnome-power-manager: requires devicekit-power
DeviceKit is in Factory. Hopefully we'll get DK-power in soon as well but upstream says that 2.24.x will be maintained for distros that don't have -power.
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad: legal status of the new plugins unclear
Who can/should sort this out?
libgda libgnomedb: I think it needs a manual merge (broken patch). Also I don't know if we can safely update to libgda 4 now?
Bad news is that Anjuta requires libgda4.
libsoup: it drops a patch but the upstream bug is still open with no clear resolution
I'll look at this one.
nautilus: I think it needs a manual merge (broken patch) Didn't look closer.
Same question as for gdm
gnome-packagekit PackageKit: would be good to have Scott look at this
system-config-printer: I want to take a closer look at the newer version to see if it's okay to update
I never got to split out the different python packages out of it either so needs to be done. Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
