At this moment we have a gnome-unstable repository, containing GNOME 2.28.0. This repository should be used on top of testing, though I'm working on it to make it compatible with just extra. Todo: - Compile packages against extra depends, not testing - Update some packages, make both architectures identical - Drop PolicyKit from hal, use at_console rules instead - Port remaining policykit-enabled packages to polkit - Drop PolicyKit completely, switch to polkit - Rebuild remaining packages for gmime 2.4 - Look for issues with poppler 0.12, possible rebuilds ahead - Try to track down required rebuilds because of changed dependencies and split packages When my todo-list above here is finished, I'll make an announcement about it. I would like to open it for public testing and allow bugs to be filed in flyspray. I don't want to drag this update through testing because of the huge size: most mirrors already have these packages, and dragging it through testing means just another resync of packages for every mirror. The main packaging changes in this release: - Use devicekit-disks for volume management - Use devicekit-power for power management - Drop hal support from the disk backend in libgphoto - Move from PolicyKit to polkit - Update gdm to 2.28. - Drop esound from the dependency tree - Build with -Wl,--as-needed, remove unneeded dependencies - Use the webkit backend for epiphany. Gecko is no more - Split libsoup into libsoup and libsoup-gnome
