Michel,
Can you test this now? I think this proposed change has an impact on a number of recent discussions on the list (including the general discussion on the purpose of G:C - if it's based on G:S, its purpose doesn't change depending on the product).
Seems to work better (have not actually tried to go through; will do it from the office later since the network connection there is much faster). Pidgin-related packages will need to be updated (should it be removed from G:S and maintained in G:C exclusively?)
While the installation conflict is now resolved, after installation the GNOME:STABLE desktop is as broken as ever. - Starting from GDM: There was an error loading the theme GDM-SuSE Could not recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/GDM-Su SE/Background.jpeg' That background file is standard JPEG! And then the GNOME splash screen is just blank, none of the icons are loaded, the theme is some default Raleigh-esque thing that looks mid-90s, and NetworkManager is not working: The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot cont inue. SLAB menu is empty too. /opt/gnome still has about 30+ MB of stuff (some of it are mine, total is about 36MB), including some that should really be in GNOME:STABLE. For example, /opt/gnome/bin has the following: application-browser gconftool-2 liferea-bin control-center gidlgen tomboy desktop-file-install gnome-xgl-info tomboy-panel desktop-file-validate gnome-xgl-settings update-desktop-database drivel gnome-xgl-switch valac f-spot kino vapigen f-spot-import liferea xchat-gnome f-spot-sqlite-upgrade liferea-add-feed We are only less than two months away from openSUSE 10.3. The testing resources is not there to justify a rebase of G:C (from the status of G:S 10.2 packages I'm guessing I am the only packager that has even tried it?).. How many of G:C packages won't build against an older GNOME? It seems standard operating procedure for me to gradually decrease support for older releases, rather than having to backport more and more stuff -- a testing nightmare, as both developer and userbase for the older releases dwindle. Going back *yet again* to a stock 10.2 + G:C GNOME setup.. -- Michel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
