[arch-dev-public] GNOME updates to testing
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.

Status of GNOME 2.20 at this moment: - platform is done for i686 and checked into testing. Files are in my staging directory - C++, perl and python bindings for platform are done for i686 and checked into testing, files are in my staging directory. The GNOME platform is supposed to be API stable, regressions other than deprecation removals are not permitted within the platform. Same goes for the bindings, they follow the platform. I'd like to run db-testing so testing users can run the new platform and bindings if there's no objections against it. I hope to be ready with the desktop suite by Sunday.

Today was Sunday, GNOME 2.20 is in testing now, including all rebuilds that were required for totem-plparser and libwnck. Please give this release some testing, if nothing is wrong with it, it could go to extra in a short period.

Does this mean we can remove the /gnome/ directory from the ftp root?

Yes, as announced in the news posting, this repository will disappear without any warning. Please move it to my homedirectory so I have a copy of it (don't know what to do with it yet, probably it will be deleted after a while, but the debug symbols in these things can come in handy). If you don't have time to do it, I'll do it tonight myself.
