[opensuse-gnome] Enable G:F for 11.0 (or Factory - 1)
Hello, At the moment, we do all this work to get the latest GNOME into GNOME:Factory. At the same time, we don't have a "Latest GNOME" for poeple that run the currently released version of openSUSE. I'd like to think that one way of serving our users would be to simply enable it to build for Factory - 1 version (11.0 as of today) as well. This would require a couple of people that watch out for build failures due to version dependencies that exists in Factory, but not in the released product, and add/link them to G:F, but make sure they are disabled for Factory. Packages such as hal and d-bus springs to mind. Would this be something that we could do? I'd be interested in helping out to make sure stuff builds...

Hrm, I'm not sure I like the idea of adding old packages to G:F. But maybe that's just me (and because this would mean I'd need to work a bit to update the osc gnome stack ;-)).

I think it makes sense to have something like this. We had GNOME:STABLE in the past. Does anyone have experience with that?

If there is another way to automatically build whatever we stick in G:F for 11.0, I'm all ears... Or perhaps we just create G:L (GNOME:Latest) that links from G:F and have both Factory and 11.0 users use that...

I don't believe that we should use STABLE in the repo where we do this. It sort of indicates that it's been tested :-) Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

what about adding a 11.0 repo to G;F as a starting point? from that, we
should be able to see what's missing

We can start by enabling builds for 11.0, but disabling publishing for 11.0. That way we can get everything in a reasonably consistent state before unleashing the packages.

Maybe it would make sense to use a different repository, with most packages just linked to those in G:F, but with some additional patches (to make things build) and/or with some extra deps. But I'd rather avoid this; better to put just the deps in a different repo.
Would this be something that we could do?

A few people used it, but I don't think they were very happy with the results, because nobody gave it the attention it needed to be viable. If we can get a commitment from somebody to pay attention to the GNOME:Factory packages on older distros, I'm all for it, but I don't want to set up expectations that we can't meet.

I'm with you Rodrigo. I'd like to see 11.0 enabled for Factory. We would also need a discussion how to handle this in the future; What will happen once 11.1 is released. Will we start building GNOME 2.26 for both 11.1 and 11.0 in Factory as well? To which repo should we move GNOME 2.24 for 11.0 users once 11.1 is released?
