We'll also repopulate GNOME:UNSTABLE with the contents of the revelant packages as they currently exist in Factory. However, the future of this repository will be different. When GNOME 21 comes out, we'll be tracking it closely.
At the same time, we'll stop directly updating the GNOME packages directly in Factory. Instead, packages from GNOME:UNSTABLE will be (automatically, I hope) synced to Factory on a regular basis.
Tarballs for GNOME 21.1 are due on 20071029, so we'll start updating it then, but we can start improving our .specs as discussed in http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Patches sooner than that.
great!
** GNOME:ALMOST-STABLE?
When will we update GNOME:STABLE to 2.22.0? Only when GNOME 2.22.0 is released? When GNOME 2.21.90 is released? Etc.
I think it makes sense to do it when 2.22.0 is released, which is when 2.21/2.22 becomes the real GNOME stable release.
I'd like to stress how important the GNOME:UNSTABLE repository will be for all of us. As I said above, anyone interested in shaping our corner of the distro will have the opportunity to do so directly. You won't be limited to sending patches or making suggestions -- although contributions in this form will of course always be welcome.
that's very good indeed.
