osc gnome news ==============
While waiting for GNOME 2.26.0 to build (locally in my jhbuild, and in the build service for packages), I worked a bit on osc gnome to bring two new things:
+ the first one is self-explanatory: osc gnome todo --project GNOME:STABLE:2.24 Yes. We can use osc gnome with GNOME:STABLE! For now, the todo command will only list packages that are part of the official GNOME release. If we want to update other packages, it's possible with some small work.
+ the second one is that osc gnome is now completely independent from oS:F and G:F: those projects are not used anywhere anymore in the code (except for the default values, which people can easily
change).
This means the plugin is getting more and more ready to conquer the world ;-)
This is great news. I was a bit concerned about the amount of work OBS had to do before finally building 2.26 for us, but seeing this, it was actually a good thing :-)
It's all in the git repo right now, and if it works fine after a few days, I'll update the osc-plugins-gnome package in openSUSE:Tools.
Note that I need to change a bit the way reservations work so that
they
are per-project. Right now, if you reserve gnome-panel in G:F, it will also mark it as reserved in G:S:2.24, which is obviously wrong. I'll fix this before next week (I might have time for it tonight)
GNOME:STABLE ============
With osc gnome working with GNOME:STABLE, it's now possible to easily update everything that needs to be updated in GNOME:STABLE.
There are some questions to discuss (the meeting sounds like a good time for that):
+ creation of G:S:2.26: when? And when it's created, should we move G:F to 2.27?
G:S:2.26 already exists. Once we update the last couple of packages in G:F, I will copy everything over to G:S:2.26. Once the copy is complete, I think we should start updating G:F straight away. We should, however, not forward those changes to oS:F for a week, so that people who follows Factory have a chance to update.
+ what kind of package updates go in. I think it doesn't make sense
to
do work on cleaning the packaging (this is something that should be done in G:F) unless it fixes a bug. So I propose to only package new upstream versions, or add patches to fix bugs.
Agreed. It makes no sense to continue to clean up packages in G:S at all. We should only update when official GNOME tarballs comes through, and if there are any specific request from the public to add a patch (or fix something trivial)
+ handling of security issues: if there's a security update for 11.1, we need to make sure the relevant patch also appears in G:S. How
can
we do this?
Good question! ATM, Marcus Meissner (sorry, not sure how to spell his name) notifies people in Contrib if security updates are needed. Perhaps we can have a talk to him to notify us as well? Other possibilities is to monitor 11.1:Updates via a script and if packages are updated there, we need to have a look. Other ideas are welcome.
