Hi developers,

I made a mistake in our release validation process, and accidentally

gobject-introspection 1.57.2 requires glib 2.57.2, but this version 
of glib is incompatible with GNOME 3.29.91. I properly downgraded 
glib when I noticed this, but failed to downgrade 
gobject-introspection as well. The result is that GNOME 3.29.91 is 
not buildable.


Hi developers,

Here is a corrected release, GNOME 3.29.91.1. The only difference is 
that gobject-introspection has been downgraded:


https://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/3.29.91.1/gnome-3.29.91.1.tar.xz

https://download.gnome.org/core/3.29/3.29.91.1/NEWS

https://download.gnome.org/core/3.29/3.29.91.1/sources/

Please, make sure the latest releases of your modules build against 
glib 2.57.2, so that we can update glib and gobject-introspection for 
3.29.92.


Thanks,

Michael

Actions:

* I'm currently working on an updated release with 
gobject-introspection downgraded to 1.56.1, to be published when 
available.
* I've updated our release procedure to require the strict build plan 
in BuildStream, to avoid this happening in the future.


Lastly, I'll remind maintainers that it would be really helpful to 
release according to our release schedule when there are build fixes 
present in your tree, so that we wouldn't have to fight so many build 
failures and downgrade so many modules. I'm still waiting on releases 
from gtk-doc, gnome-online-accounts, gnome-boxes, and gnome-software, 
all of which were broken and required workarounds to be included in 
GNOME 3.29.91.

GNOME 3.29.91 released

2018-08-15 Thread mcatanzaro

Hi,

GNOME 3.29.91 is now available!

If you want to compile GNOME 3.29.91, you can use the official
BuildStream project snapshot:

https://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/3.29.91/gnome-3.29.91.tar.xz

The list of updated modules and changes is available here:

https://download.gnome.org/core/3.29/3.29.91/NEWS

The source packages are available here:

https://download.gnome.org/core/3.29/3.29.91/sources/

A couple informal notes. First, this was too hard. Too many build 
failures. I wound up downgrading several modules, I just removed 
gnome-boxes rather than fight to get it to build. If you know there is 
some build failure affecting your module and fixed in git, then please, 
we really need a tarball release according to schedule to avoid making 
the release process difficult for us. Second, this release marks the 
beginning of the software string freeze. String changes from this point 
out require string freeze break approval.


WARNING!

This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is
buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking
purposes. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development
status.

For more information about 3.29, the full schedule, the official module
lists and the proposed module lists, please see our 3.29 wiki page:

https://www.gnome.org/start/unstable

Happy hacking,
