GTK+3 advisiblity for F14?
by Adam Williamson 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi, folks. Just a question - since GNOME 3 is being delayed and won't ship in F14, does it make sense to have a few apps (but not many) ported to GTK+ 3 for F14? I can see it causing more trouble along the lines of the gnome-python2-desktop package. Would it be better to move them back to GTK+ 2 and postpone porting to GTK+ 3 until F15? What's the plan in general for backing off from 2.90.x versions of GNOME bits? Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

gnome-python2-desktop needs various porting to GNOME / GTK+ 3
by Adam Williamson 02 Aug '10

Hi, folks. I'm helping dmalcolm with the Python 2.7 rebuild at the moment. gnome-python2-desktop is failing to build for reasons which have nothing to do with Python 2.7 and everything to do with GTK+ 3 and GNOME 3. It has modules for Brasero and Evince, both of which have now been ported to GTK+ 3. Trying to build gnome-python2-desktop with these modules enabled fails due to various changes between GTK+2 and GTK+3. g-p2-d also has gnome media profiles support: gnome-media-profiles has also been made into a new gnome-media-profiles-3.0 version which requires GTK+3 according to its pkgconfig file, so I suspect gnome-python2-desktop will need adjusting for that too. For now I'm going to send David a build with the Brasero and Evince modules disabled and the gnome-media-profiles support also disabled. This will break a couple of apps - pybackpack and sugar-read - but that's presumably preferable to having gnome-python2-desktop broken entirely (and hence also gnome-applets). Obviously, though, this should be fixed properly - upstream, of course. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net
