Hi All,
I'm preparing GNOME 2.20 for testing, which should be done by upcoming sunday. I'm not rushing anything: I'm evaluating package quality of every individual package (namcap, checkpkg), checking upstream SVN for post-release patches that should be included, etc. At this moment I have most of GNOME 2.20 platform in my staging dir on gerolde, the PKGBUILDs and patches have been committed to CVS.
I haven't seen many issues with this release, most problems are tackled in the GNOME 2.19 repository already, some other known bugs are waiting for simple fixes which are known on the forums and our bugtracker.
I think this release will sit in testing for one or maybe two weeks, nothing more. During this period I expect some rebuilds for applications that link to API/ABI unstable libraries in the GNOME desktop suite (totem-plparser has a sobump, probably libgtop and libwnck also, have to checkpkg for all the details of this).
I'll keep everyone updated on the status of this.
Great. Thanks a lot. If you do end up creating a dev TODO list for this, let us know, so we can help you out with rebuilds.
