Hi, A few minutes ago, I created GNOME:Next. This is the project that we will use to package a development version of GNOME when Factory is frozen. Please note that it is not intended to be used by end-users, and if you use it and it works, it's by pure chance ;-) I've populated it with branches from G:F of various packages, and by updating most of them, we should be able to provide a GNOME 3 environment. I thought a bit about how to handle packages in there, especially as we'll want to push them to Factory once Factory is unfrozen, and here's my proposal: + we use branches: this enables us to follow what's happening in current Factory + if a change occurs in G:F, it might potentially break the branched package in G:N. If this happens, then we'll look if the change is needed. If it is, then no difficulty ;-) If it isn't, then we should still merge it, then revert it, and explicitly mention in .changes that we merged it and reverted it for G:N. This way, we won't lose history from Factory, which will help the autobuild team later on. + we use the usual process to submit updates to a new upstream version. I considered the option of delaying writing good .changes entries, but if we delay that, it means it will never happen. Note that there's no collab data for this project, so no "osc collab todo". I might add support for it later, but there's no guarantee. If you want to help, just ask on irc what you can do :-) It will obviously take some time to update everything, but once it's mostly ready, we'll send a mail. Dominique: I'll start updating some packages by taking some of your updates from your GNOME3 project. Cheers, Vincent PS: Why GNOME:Next? Because GNOME:Unstable was deleted a while ago, and I didn't like the Unstable part in that name anyway ;-) -- 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
