[opensuse-gnome] Updating GNOME to 2.28.2 in 11.2?
Hi all, As some of you probably saw, the KDE team is going to release a version upgrade of KDE as a maintenance update: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2009-12/msg00002.html Magnus noticed the discussion when it was still on the maintenance mailing list, and we started considering the option of doing the same for GNOME. A good candidate would be GNOME 2.28.2, which is due next week. It would certainly fix many bugs that are reported in bugzilla as of today. Of course, doing this will take some time (we need to update the packages, and then test all that), so it wouldn't happen before at least a few weeks. How do people feel about this?

I don't see too many bugs in 11.2 GNOME yet ;) Anyways, this would be great, but the online update would again understandably be large. Please, therefore, consider also updating the live-cd's if possible. This is especially considering that SUSE Studio does not support 11.2 yet, and it would be very useful for those [like me] who have poor/expensive internet connectivity.

As of this morning that is no longer true :) Cheers, Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Just saw that, great! Even so, it would be useful to update the "official" 11.2 Live-cd's with these point-updates included. Bye -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Being from a place where the internet connectivity is slow and limited, I will wish for smaller maintenance updates. So a -1 from me. However, if there are many (how many) bugs fixed because of such an update, we can go for it and my "-1" is not so strong. -- Sankar http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I'd say that we flag these updates as optional, which, in theory, should mean that they wont come down automatically?

I would not be in a position to tell you how many bug fixes there have been, but in theory, the GNOME team and its users would really benefit from this update. Handling bug reports for each individual bug, instead of following upstream, takes a great amount of time, which means that there is less time getting all the latest and greatest into Factory where people can start testing it.
