Mike, et al:
* GNOME:STABLE
Makes sense. Whatever is our latest released product is "STABLE" for us basically.
* GNOME:Factory
Great idea, especially if it makes it easier for non-Novell team members to contribute.
I would be even more radical. The current design of GNOME:* was created in past, when OBS was not able of joining of projects when building and one-click install did not exist. Nowadays, things have changed and the layout all-in-one seems to be obsolete. It consists from several types of packages: GNOME core packages following GNOME release cycle GNOME platform packages following GNOME release cycle GNOME based packages not following GNOME release cycle GTK+2 packages following GTK+ release cycle GTK+2 based packages not following any release cycle Gstreamer packages random packages present only as dependencines random packages (and mono package) present only as gnome-maintainers@ stuff. So I would like to propose: GNOME platform: Keep the two-repos concept. GTK+ platform: Ditto, may have its own repos or use GNOME repos. Applications: Create a separate repository of applications, which don't follow GNOME/GTK+ release cycle. Maybe even better, drop many of them. For example gqview or GIMP development would fit much better to multimedia:photo than GNOME:UNSTABLE. Gstreamer: I am thinking about move to multimedia:something altogether with multimedia libraries. It would make Gstreamer build simpler. randmom packages: remove them mono packages and mono based packages: check whether they are in mono projects and move or drop in GNOME repos. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
