[opensuse-gnome] GNOME packages not at 2.24 (in Tumbleweed)?
By chance I noticed a GNOME package at version 2.22, even after the latest updates, so I had a closer look and found here are some packages carrying a version number of 3.22 or 3.20, and one with 3.23: % rpm -qa gnome* | grep -v 24 gnome-contacts-3.22.1-1.2.x86_64 gnome-video-effects-0.4.3-1.1.noarch gnome-user-share-3.18.3-1.1.x86_64 gnome-screenshot-3.22.0-1.1.x86_64 gnome-js-common-0.1.2-16.2.x86_64 gnome-nettool-3.8.1-8.3.x86_64 gnome-keyring-3.20.0-3.1.x86_64 gnome-keyring-pam-3.20.0-3.1.x86_64 gnome-mahjongg-3.22.0-1.1.x86_64 gnome-menus-3.13.3-2.2.x86_64 gnome-online-miners-3.22.0-1.2.x86_64 gnome-icon-theme-symbolic-3.12.0-3.2.noarch gnome-icon-theme-3.12.0-4.1.noarch gnome-font-viewer-3.23.91-1.1.x86_64 gnome-shell-search-provider-seahorse-3.20.0-2.4.x86_64 gnome-themes-accessibility-3.22.3-1.1.noarch gnome-menus-branding-openSUSE-42.1-1.2.noarch gnome-bluetooth-3.20.1-1.1.x86_64 gnome-icon-theme-extras-3.12.0-3.2.noarch Is that okay, or are there any obsoletes (or updates) missing somewhere?

Is that okay, or are there any obsoletes (or updates) missing somewhere?
So far the list seems ok - there are simply a few applications that did not get any attention in the last couple releases (e.g. seahorse); some of them are declared 'dead' but no replacement is (yet) in place (e.g. seahorse), others simply 'stalled'; 'gnome-icon-theme' for example is no longer used by GNOME itself (it uses Adwaita), but there are quite some other 3rd party icon themes relying on it as a fallback. For this reason we can't mark it obsolete - even though you as a 'pure' GNOME user can likely uninstall it without ill effects. So, this time around, nothing to worry - but I'm happy there are others looking for things to improve Cheers Dominique

Thanks for looking into this and the background, Dominique! Another one I found that I could remove without any dependencies on it was gnome-js-common-0.1.2-16.2.x86_64. Is that obsolete? Similarly for gnome-online-miners-3.22.0-1.2.x86_64. Cheers, Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

That's indeed one we can look at to even drop. With the world moving to webkit2, it seems we no longer have any consumer of this package in the distribution.
Similarly for gnome-online-miners-3.22.0-1.2.x86_64.
gnome-online-miner is used when you have online account defined (e.g GOOGLE, Facebook, Owncloud) and expect Photos/Documents to show up in the respective applications (GNOME Documents / GNOME Photos); with the miner disabled, those apps won't show the relevant docs from those online sources anymore Cheers, Dominique

I noticed this is still in Tumbleweed, so perhaps there was any reason to keep it? Or did just none of the maintainers get to it?

Ah, thanks for this background, Dominique! Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for the reminder - I meant to do it last time around but somehow got distracted. Now the package is gone (snapshot 0728+ won't have it anymore; if you check zypper 'now', it is still there) Cheers, Dominique
