[opensuse-gnome] Using SUSE Studio for GNOME Live Images
Hi openSUSE GNOME team! I have an interesting challenge (and marketing opportunity) for the openSUSE GNOME team. I'm writing the release notes for the upcoming GNOME 2.32 release, and for GNOME 2.30 we did not have live media (either LiveCDs or images for use with KVM, etc). In following up on that prior to release, the maintainer won't have time to try and create images. Is this something we could use SUSE Studio for? I was lurking in the openSUSE GNOME meeting this morning in IRC and in talking to Vincent, I understand we'd first have to get GNOME 2.32 working on 11.3. We have just over 2 weeks until GNOME 2.30 comes out and I think it might be cool to see new GNOME branded live images powered by SUSE Studio. If anyone wants to help out, please let myself or Vincent know. Thanks!

This sounds like a great opportunity indeed. As SUSE Studio is based around released openSUSE Versions, indeed, we need to make sure that GNOME 2.32 will fully build on 11.3 again. This is/was lately a bit ignored, in the line of fire to get Factory fully updated (and normally we invest on GNOME:STABLE:* a few moments again after release. Nevertheless, this is also a great start for a new contributor! Most packages are there and hardly do need any fixing! It's generally to find out what dependencies are mossing or what other backports we might need. So everybody: There is an easy step into the world of contribution. The GNOME Team will gladly help you here on the list and on #opensuse-gnome on freenode IRC.

Studio is an option but I suggest to take the 11.3 GNOME LiveCD that is build in obs and just adjust it for GNOME 2.32. You might need your repository setup to allow kiwi building but that's it. This might be easier to get you started.

I think it's a great idea doing this!

After some fiddling yesterday and several backport packages we now have GNOME:Factory fully built against openSUSE 11.3 again. G:F at the moment is at GNOME 2.31.92 (+/-) and it would be great if we can do some testings. AJ: Do you have some more information on how to do those images? This might indeed be a very interesting approach.

Please talk with Coolo or Adrian directly - or ask Will Stephenson on what the KDE team does, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Or look at the GNOME:Medias project in the build service ;-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
