There are a couple of things here - one thing I want to emphasize here (I mentioned this too in the Boston Summit), is that it's really, really important that we keep "jhbuild up to gtk+" working. Allowing application developers to test their apps against newer versions of the GTK+ stack is extremely important for getting feedback before APIs are fully stabilized, etc., without forcing them to overwrite their stable distribution entirely. Also, jhbuild makes it easier for application authors to *contribute patches*, something the distribution package model makes way too hard. It's therefore quite important that we have and maintain jhbuild-based autobuilders on at least the latest Ubuntu and Fedora/Debian/OpenSUSE/whatever. However, a scalable way to maintain this requires a *group* of people who are able to control the build servers without blocking on the sysadmin team to (for example) install packages that are jhbuild "sysdeps". See https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-infrastructure/2012-November/msg00030.html for how I think we can scale infrastructure better. But personally I don't run jhbuild past gtk+ much myself anymore because I use gnome-ostree for hacking on GNOME. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
