We need a plan to cover GNOME 2.19 now that its being released. Normally I would say move 2.18.1 to G:S and keep updating it there, but in this case we have the /opt/gnome -> /usr move to deal with, we'd break anyone on 10.2 and older for sure. Any thoughts on what to do?
I think we should rename GNOME:STABLE to GNOME:GNOME-2.16 and GNOME:UNSTABLE to GNOME:GNOME-2.18. We should also create GNOME:GNOME-2.20 for the 2.19 and eventual 2.20 work. GNOME:Community should probably remain as-is.
I would like it, too. But it was rejected in past after a long discussion, so there is only chance to move it out of the BS as an static and no longer updated stuff.
I definitely pushed back on this, I didn't want to end up with 4 or 5 "supported" build services. However things have changed somewhat - the length of time until 10.3 means two shipping versions of GNOME probably and the /opt/gnome -> /usr move wasn't factored in. I guess what we should do is rename G:U to G:216opt or something, move 2.18 to G:S (built only for 10.2 and factory) and start in on 2.19 in G:U.
Rename is not easily possible. We have to delete project and create (and build) new one with the same package set.
From user side of view, it will cause broken repository.
So it might be better to name them: GNOME_2_16 (or GNOME216, GNOME_2_16_OPT,...) GNOME_2_18 (or GNOME218) and GNOME_2_20 for GNOME 2.19 - if anybody will want to follow its development, simply subscribe and once it will become stable and frozen. I don't know, whether BS supports symlinks to projects to provide GNOME:STABLE (recommended stable branch) and GNOME:UNSTABLE.
The downside of course is not being able to get more testing on 10.2 - unless we can get that compatibility package built asap which might make 2.18 feasible on 10.2.
opt_gnome-compat works well and I am using 10.2+GNOME2.18 without any problems. That is why the repository is so large. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 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
