Hi all. Are there repositories from where I can install gnome 3.7?
Gnome 3.8 will be fully available in a separate repository named gnome-unstable in a few hours. And in testing in a few days / week.
Thanks.

There is currently some breakage with GDM in the gnome-unstable repository. I was unable to get GNOME 3.8 started. I got the following assertion errors in my logs, but I can't begin to decode them.

Both GNOME Shell and GDM are still on 3.6.x versions while most components have been updated to 3.8 versions. It's possible that something introduced breakage to old versions or something needs a rebuild ... I'd wait for all GNOME 3.8 packages to become available before trying gnome-unstable.

Of course, it is not completely built !

Just look at your favorite mirror, and search for gnome-unstable repo : you will not find gdm 3.8 or gnome-shell 3.8.0.1. Until there is a mail with "gnome 3.8 is available in gnome-unstable", it won't be usable :) -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies@gmail.com

shit happens when packages are not ready. wait for our notification. -- Ionuț
According to Ionut Biru: # shit happens when packages are not ready. # wait for our notification. Ah thanks. That's definitely what I did wrong. I jumped the gun by more than a few seconds :P. I still have the repo commented out in my pacman.conf, so I'll try it as soon as the notification comes. Seems I'm not the only one who jumped early, as the post here in this thread got forwarded to the Orca list as well. I'm just glad I knew how to fix the breakage on my system and so was one of the ones who was able to warn others on that list that it's not yet ready. I will post to the Orca list to let everyone know that there will be a notification when GNOME 3.8 is completely built and ready for testing. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ...
