We intend to ship GNOME 2.30 in squeeze. As I already explained on IRC, this implies a number of transitions if we want all of it. evince : minor transition with few packages involved, but can be entangled with others through gnome-python-desktop. No poppler transition planned, yay! Evolution : business as usual, all packages depending on libcamel, evolution, evolution-data-server or libedata-cal will need a transition. Yves-Alexis told me he’ll upload as much as possible of it to experimental. gnome-desktop : this soname change includes some API deletions, so it will have to be in sync with some of the depending packages. totem-pl-parser : soname change, already ready in experimental. libxklavier : probably the hardest one to conduct. Will require patches to depending packages, including KDE and Xfce. What makes it worse is that it’s mandatory for gnome-settings-daemon, which in turn affects control-center. We’ll try to prepare everything in experimental, and if it turns out to be impossible to conduct, we will have to make g-s-d build against the older libxklavier/libgnomekbd. I intend to upload all packages that need a transition to experimental something like next week, unless someone else from the team beats me to it. There will also be a Telepathy transition, but the Telepathy team should know better, and an opal/ptlib one, for which the VoIP team knows better. You can add to that new major versions for glib2.0, pango1.0 and gtk+2.0 and packaging changes to cope with d-i migrating to X11. We’re currently discussing whether to do both at once or to wait for d-i to be ready before upgrading the GTK+ stack. Finally, there is work to integrate the new version of GDM in squeeze. It is almost ready, but there’s a blocker bug remaining before it can be uploaded. Given the number of regressions, the package will be named differently (gdm3). Which one will be installed by default in squeeze has not been decided yet, but I tend to prefer to set gdm3 (if it turns out not too buggy) for new installations while keeping gdm for upgrades.
