As mentioned in the original mail, there are two main issues: A) Indirection from the hardware: network, sound, monitors, webcams, bluetooth, touchscreens, GPU, etc. A lot of work on the core of GNOME is hardware integration work. I don't think we can advertise running in a VM as *the* way to develop the next version of GNOME. B) We simply don't have a good hacking environment for full operating system tree development. gnome-continuous is not really set up for making local changes and is also significantly harder to understand than jhbuild. Right now, the best path for hacking gnome in a VM is running jhbuild inside the VM, with quite a bit of a speed and convenience penalty. - Owen _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
