Hm, that would mean when there is a stable Gnome 2.18 all people needs to change their repository URLs ?
Yes. Exactly this was my intention.
After GNOME 2.x 2.x+2 update, desktop often needs small reconfiguration and some things may even disappear.
Imagine that you are using 2.x and you will get 2.x+2 overnight. Your desktop is now different, needs some work to adjust it, and may be even less stable. And what is worse, there is no way to undo this change.
That would be always a bug IMHO. How does a user do an update from openSUSE x.y to x.y+1 (or SLE) otherwise ?
openSUSE x.y to x.y+1 is updated by admin by reboot from install CD/DVD. Unintentional upgrade can never happen there. And user still has to do some things manually: - Remove icon for evolution-2.4 from panel - Add icon for evolution-2.6 to panel - Remove old main menu and replace it by the new main menu (if intended) - Renew icons on desktop with dumb icon. ...
That's a reason, why I would like to see stable versions in form GNOME2xx. When GNOME 2.x+2 appears, we can let 2.x repository silently die in few weeks or months (i. e. stop updating and building).
or rest forever, because some stupid app does not get ported :/
Hopefully, public part of API is nearly 100% compatible and no porting is required. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
