As for mixing g-s-d 3.8 with g-c-c 3.6, apart from a few moved gsettings keys there are no major issues.
A lot of work went into improving a number of the upstream panels (particularly network, power and region panels), and there a number of new panels (notifications, privacy etc). However these changes are more or less contained to g-c-c and don't introduce incompatibilities for g-s-d. Clearly Ubuntu GNOME really wants g-c-c 3.8 for these improvements. The remaining Unity issues are all mostly trivial, however have basically been blocked waiting on input from the desktop team. As far as I know no one even bothered to look at this, even when I was working on these issues very early in the Saucy cycle. Nearly all the work I did on g-s-d was to fix Unity Integration. g-c-c was split more evenly between general ubuntu integration and unity integration. Obviously if regressions pop up, I will get them sorted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219486 Title: FFe: Update gnome-settings-daemon to 3.8.4 Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/gnome-settings- daemon/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/changelog https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings- daemon/tree/NEWS?h=gnome-3-8 Call for testing: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- desktop/2013-August/004296.html The Ubuntu GNOME team has been testing gnome-settings-daemon 3.8 with packages available in the GNOME3 Staging PPA (for 13.04 users) since the Saucy cycle opened. We didn't get the upload in by Feature Freeze because we were waiting for indicator-keyboard to land in Saucy to make sure that this upload didn't cause any regressions with the input method support. There are no known remaining regressions with this upload. I can no longer reproduce bug 1201679 with this build. This update is also a prerequisite for updating gnome-disk-utility to 3.8 (bug 1092719). gnome-control-center also needs updating (for moved gsettings keys and similar) and gnome-shell needs a patch to be dropped. I am ready to upload all three of these packages now.
