As far as I understand, once you get approval you can update the wiki yourself; since you didn't get any objection after a reasonable time, I don't see need to wait for someone else to update it.

Moreover, I asked Lucas about it and he told me that the reason rygel didn't make it there was that it didn't get into the jhbuild moduleset before he rolled out the release. Anyway, good to know that it did make it there. :) Same goes for the Vala bump proposal I made separately. I thought I answered you on IRC, that it was okay. So here goes it: it's ok.

Re: New external dependencies for Rygel: GUPnP Libgee
Hi, If you want to add a new dependency or want one of the minimum versions updated, make a good case for it on desktop-devel-list (this may only require a few sentences). In particular, provide reasons why it is important to bump the version number, explain any impact (compile and run time) on other modules, and list any additional external dependencies it would pull in as well as any requirements on newer versions of existing external dependencies. Be prepared for others to take a few days to test it (in particular, to ensure it builds) before giving a thumbs up or down. Are you ok with it? If you mean this decision taking some time, sure but rygel depended on these libs when it was proposed for inclusion so I was hoping that people have already tested it along with its dependencies. Nope, the important part is that *every time* you will want to bump the version number you will have to ask and wait. Understood.

Sure, bug fix releases can happen quickly if necessary. About libgee, shouldn't this be in glib, or in the language itself, instead of an extra library? Don't know. I guess that would be a question for Jürg. It was proposed multiple times¹² to be included in glib, however, it was not accepted by the glib maintainers. The main reason was that glib already contains various collection types and these types can obviously not be removed from glib 2. This means that there would be two sets of collection types, the previous ones in libglib and the new GType and interface-based ones in libgobject/libgio, which wouldn't improve consistency within glib, although it might still have improved consistency outside glib. Vala does not have a language-specific runtime library, glib is all you need to run Vala applications. That's why a separate library has been created for the collection types.

New external dependencies for Rygel: GUPnP Libgee
Hi, I would like to propose the following as blessed dependencies for Rygel: * gupnp = 0.13.3 * gupnp-av = 0.5.5 * gupnp-vala = 0.6.5 * libgee = 0.5.0 The first three are part of GUPnP project and the last one is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and classes for commonly used data structures. Please visit the projects' home pages[1][2] for more information on them. Yes, I should have done it at the same time I proposed Rygel but hey this is my first module in GNOME so please go easy on me. :) On the bright side some gnome modules already depend on the first two of the libraries above indirectly (empathy) or optionally (gnome-user-share). -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 [1] http://www.gupnp.org [2] http://live.gnome.org/Libgee ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

The GUPnP libraries are another story and Rygel's requirement for them get bumped quite often. - What are your relations with the upstream authors?

I'm sure Jürg can always be harassed to make the libgee release happen in time. :) About gupnp, it depends on gssdp, right?
