[Mageia-dev] GNOME plans

Mon Jun 4 14:12:17 CEST 2012

GNOME:
+ - Various releases of GNOME 3.5.x; another one being released atm
+ - 3.5.x will at one point require a really new systemd (with
+   hibernate/sleep functionality; in the systemd announcement Lennart
+   said he'd explain soon in a blogpost)
+ - GNOME online accounts 3.5.x at one point will depend on something to
+   allow you to use the Microsoft Cloud thing (whatever the name is)
+ - GNOME online accounts can depend on Facebook, but doesn't do by
+   default. Think I might activate this
+ - GNOME is adding some kind of initial setup screen, think handled by
+   GDM. No details yet.
+
+Cauldron:
+ - wait until new xorg is in cauldron (not testing)
+ - wait until new systemd (with udev) is in cauldron
+ - then move to 3.5.x and make GNOME require systemd
+   at same time: explicitly kill any ConsoleKit support
+   (some bits fall back to ConsoleKit, some bits don't.. supporting
+   sysvinit will go away with Mageia 3, and I rather prevent bugreports
+   from such configurations)
+
+For Mageia 2:
+ - there are still various bugreports open. Help welcome.
+ - GNOME 3.4.2 should be provided as an update
+   Hopefully can 
+
+-- 
+Regards,
