Thanks for stepping in! I'll give it a try. (And yes, I'm a lazy project maintainer, and haven't worked on tracking the upstream.)
Well, then we're two lazy project maintainers :-)
There will be some graphical stuff to fix, mostly due to differences in GTK2 and GTK3 theming I guess, but that is somehting I know nothing about (and to be honest, I do not care about appearance at all).
Some core components (Thunar, xfwm4, xfce4-panel, xfce4-session, xfdesktop) still use gtk2, so this will not get rid of this version for now.
So does anyone have strong opinions on keeping the old GTK2 version? If not, I'd submit the update to X11:xfce and later to factory.
I'm for going forward for TW.
Yes, me too. Especially as sooner or later the old versions will probably bit-rot *and* it's next to impossible to stay gtk3-free already now.
One question is whether we want a staging project as we had before (e.g. X11:xfce:devel). Judging from your comments, it doesn't look needed for now. However, if the transition will take long time, it'd make sense to have a staging repo for spinning for a while.
If there is no further feedback, there is not that much we can do short of just throwing the current state into X11:xfce anyway; I don't think there are people using this repo for regular use other than development, because normally there is nothing in there that's not sent to Factory soon anyway. And we'll experience the real fallout only after it hits factory anyway, so the additional staging project is probably not necessary. One thing I'll try next is building a Live ISO and installation media, to test if those are effected by the updates, but I'll need to find out how to do that exactly first. have fun :-) seife -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
