Hi all GNOMEies and users of GNOME:Next repo in particular. We are about to embark on a new round of checkins of packages from unstable branches from upstream, so if you have GNOME:Next in your repo list and want to stay "safe", this is the time to disable that one. GNOME:Factory is a good alternative if plain Tumbleweed is just to old and boring for you. With that out of the way - GNOME:Next is open for new contributors, and here at openSUSE GNOME land we make that real easy. First off, make sure you have a login on the openSUSE Build Service https://build.opensuse.org/ Next fire up a terminal and do: sudo zypper in --recommends osc osc-plugin-collab once that is done, run this command: osc collab todo --project GNOME:Next Then you will hopefully see something that looks similar to this: bjolie@haldis:~> osc collab todo --project GNOME:Next Package                | Parent Project | GNOME:Next  | Upstream       -----------------------+----------------+----------------+------------- at-spi2-core           | 2.18.1         | 2.18.1      | 2.19.1         bijiben                | 3.18.1         | 3.18.1      | 3.19.1         dconf-editor           | 3.18.1         | 3.18.1      | 3.19.1         eog                    | 3.18.0         | 3.18.0      | 3.19.1(s)       evolution              | 3.18.1         | 3.18.1      | 3.19.1(c)       then its free picking of the package you want to update (unless there is an (s) or (c) behind it. to update say eog do osc collab update --project GNOME:Next eog This will reserve and checkout eog for you in a branch Read the files called osc-collab.ChangeLog  osc-collab.configure  osc- collab.NEWS They will contain lots of info about the changes needed. After having updated eog.changes, you can use 'osc build' to start a local build or 'osc collab build' to start a build on the build service. Once you have everything updated and building correctly, do: osc collab buildsubmit --project GNOME:Next --message="Unstable version update (or any other message you would like to go along with your submit" This will checkin your package and set it for review of us the maintainers (given that it builds on the obs that is :-) ) Lastly if or when you get stuck or if there is something you wonder about feel free to stop by #opensuse-gnome on chat.freenode.net  and ask there, most of the time there will be someone there that can help you out (Note that you sometimes have to wait a while for an answer so just ask your question and idle in the channel until someone wakes up). Happy hacking!
