On a related subject, what are the timescales
for
basing GNOME on GNOME 2.10 or 2.12 (for those of
us who don't want
to compile form scratch)?
Our GNOME 2.12 sources should be on
opensolaris.org by the end of
this week. We will then move on to GNOME 2.13.x
(unstable,
development) which will become GNOME 2.14 (stable)
in mid-March.
2.14 is likely to be our next the version of GNOME
in Nevada.
We're actually thinking about a 2 part migration for
Nevada - putting a
GNOME 2.12 based version in after Christmas, and
then following it up a
few months later with GNOME 2.14 which will likely
coordinate better
with the various Nevada schedule dates. That's a
very tentative plan at
the moment though.
We had a pretty interesting session at the desktop
summit we held
internally over the last 2 weeks, which was
basically a desktop gripe
session. Over a short hour, people shouted out
issues they had with the
desktop. I'll be doing a write up of that session
sometime soon, but I'm
pretty pleased that we've solved a number of issues
people were
experiencing in 2.6.

[1] I'm actually surprised that no one published
their set of packages
that they built from the sources - seriously
people, what gives? :)
You have a valid point in which where is the new JDS
'binaries' posted based on GNOME 2.12.x?? I'd thought
of a simple FTP area (like where Schillix and Belenix
are mirrored). I've been reviewing and working on the
vanilla GNOME 2.12.2 for Blastwave and would hate to
duplicate work being done by the JDS team (i.e. I need
to spend more time on KDE 3.5.x anyhow!).
GNOME for Solaris needs to evolve between the
community developers and Sun engineers to we have a
more unified system to deliver the binaries to
everyone on all of the current distributions
(Solaris-Solaris Express). Although it is fun to learn
and build GNOME/JDS from source tarballs, it is a
thought to provide the latest GNOME/JDS binaries to
everyone to get more TESTING and bug reporting done to
improve the JDS/GNOME experience on Solaris. ;oP
Something to think about?
+1. So you're basically suggesting having a CSW/Blastwave Solaris build
environment (would it be Solaris 8?) based on the JDS/Nevada sources,
correct? Any sense of how difficult that would be? E.g. how much would
the sources have to be tailored to build properly on say, Solaris 8?
