I agree about a 2nd set of eyes. > The only thing I need from you is ticket #6972 (Fix starting X). > > The only other tickets are Plasma5 which I will be working on tonight and > the bind security update. Can I mention the perl module ticket, used by bind's tessuite ? I think it was Net-DNS. I build that while testing the Mail-SpamAssassin *builds*, but I do not regard that as verification that the module works, and certainly not in the context of Bind. > > >I like not tagging the packages I usually update, because I may be > >reproducing the same mistake.

Lets keep the freeze for gnome and lxqt. > For gnome, after merging the v3 packages into the book I rather wish I had not done that - in its early days, v3 was still somewhat usable, now it seems to be much less so. But anyway - Has anybody *recently* reviewed the runtime gnome packages ? I am thinking about trying to test what I can (I use evince and gucharmap, but without recommended deps such as gobject-introspection and nautilus, so for the moment I cannot tag them). Some things I cannot test, e.g. cheese (needs a supported movie camera, I think) and the networkmanager applet (no wifi on my machines running 7.8, and similarly I built NetworkManager itself for *latest* plasma but without trying to *use* it I do not regard that as a sufficient test of whether or not it works - after all, it's primary purpose is for wifi). But then I looked at the gnome runtime deps - I see totem-pl-parser, and I remember it from when I used (or, at some times, *tried* to use) totem. But AFAICS nothing *directly* references it (totem, and its string of dependencies, have been archived). So, if I were to build everything from the gnome packages, how would I know if totem-pl-parser is working ? I have not looked at the other not-yet-tagged runtime deps, perhaps there are more questionable items. ĸen -- Il Porcupino Nil Sodomy Est!
