Re: About the role of the Release (again)

Yes...but we're talking about like the nautilus redesign that wasn't
posted or discussed in that way.

 I have the impression that the current discussion is about unhappiness
 in certain circles with decisions that have been made in individual
 modules. I have zero interest in turning the release team into a
 commit police, and I'm not going to participate in that kind of
 activity.

Right, I don't think anyone wants to be the commit police.  I think the
role has to be structured such that changes *always* conceptually go
through the design/release team i.e. we treat the git repos as pull
requests, and both teams are consistently active in looking at the
commits and assisting.

Would that work?  It'd be a big change from the modules are maintainer
fiefdoms model, but I do think ultimately if we're talking about doing
something here, that's what would have to change.

 IMHO, the first thing to debate if we are willing to expand our role and
 scope, assuming that is what the Foundation members want us to do. If we
 are, then let's ask the community if that is what they want. If not, we
 should document with more detail what we are, what we do, and how far we
 will go on our duties. I mention how far because that was raised by
 Colin on our meeting here at GUADEC with the specific example of bluez
 migration.

Yeah...though I do think for that one our best bet is to highlight both
the benefits of the transition (and the drawbacks).

 When there is a strong difference of opinion related to a change made
 within a core GNOME module, the Release Team has the authority to serve
 as mediator in the hopes of finding a solution which is agreeable to all
 parties. Failing that, the Release Team has the authority to veto the
 inclusion of the change in GNOME releases.

I think it's our role to *always* be involved to some degree.  Not that
anyone is full time, but I mean the job naturally involves mediation
since there are so many parts.

A lot hinges here on what veto means.  git revert?  Letting the
change stand in master and shipping an earlier branch?  I guess some
modules (mainly apps) could be dropped entirely.  And of course
ultimately, downstreams have their own veto.

How would we decide?  Would we vote?

I know that I mentioned at the meeting we should consider possibly
shipping earlier versions of things, but now that I consider it...there
are a lot of details.

Presently the release-team emits the modulesets with tarballs...so the
natural tendency would lead us to something like earlier releases in
there.  But if it's not a short term thing, then it's a fork, and that
leads us to the need for a git branch...but theoretically the
maintainers are in control of the git repository.

glib freeze break request

2013-03-25 Thread Colin Walters
Hi,

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696014

This is pretty critical for ostree since it makes /etc/shadow
world-readable.  It can still be a less severe security issue in some
cases such as making files in your home directory world-readable if they
weren't originally.

I've tested this patch a lot and believe it's quite low risk.

gnome-ostree now doing smoketests too

2013-03-04 Thread Colin Walters
Hi,

I wanted to highlight this:

http://ostree.gnome.org/work/tasks/smoketest/current/output.txt

The gnome-ostree system is now actually *testing* as well as building.
The smoke test is presently fairly basic - it just sets up GDM for
auto-login and boots.  The source code is here:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-ostree/tree/src/js/tasks/task-smoketest.js

The nice thing about this test though is that unlike e.g. the screenshot
checksums the OpenSUSE QA does, this test looks for unique MESSAGE_IDs
in log files and thus should require no human maintenance over time.

Historically, we've tried to keep jhbuild working on current stable
versions of popular distributions.  This is not always easy.

Now honestly, I bet Ryan would be OK if Orca merely built, so he could
say that all of jhbuild compiles.  Whether or not it works at runtime is
a different thing.

There's also the fact that Orca is not in the critical path so to
speak.  Were it say GTK+ that had a hard dependency on Python 3.3, it'd
be a quite different thing.

Ultimately I'd say this is up to the Orca maintainers.

Re: Requiring systemd for the gnome-settings-daemon power plugin

On Fri, 2012-10-19 at 15:48 +0200, Bastien Nocera wrote:

 I would recommend that gnome-shell uses systemd to suspend, and I would

 to make, so if the costs of keeping those options are low enough for
 you, then feel free to keep them.

But in reality, the set of git repositories forms a whole.  And if
gnome-settings-daemon doesn't support !systemd, then the whole doesn't
either.  So if you decide to delete this code from g-s-d, it makes the
work of anyone else completely pointless.

Broadly speaking, I don't think it makes sense for this to be up to
individual module maintainers as they please, because the result is
incoherent.

Now, this is obviously not a new debate.  One option which I'd like to
preserve at least is that !systemd platforms are able to build and run
GNOME in basic window management mode.  Basically the equivalent of
thin client/remote X display.

So we could say we don't support power management for example.  In that
case, you could support being compiled without systemd support (at
present), and just do nothing if it doesn't exist.  Or it could be
runtime detection.

distribution such as Ubuntu 12.04 or Fedora 17.  Does pulseaudio build
from jhbuild on those systems?

Actually even trickier, can you build programs against the pulseaudio
2.0 libraries, but run gnome-shell --replace on a system which is
running an older pulseaudio daemon?

(We can punt on these issues of course, as we have in the past in some
 cases, but anything that breaks jhbuild on stable distributions has a
 serious negative impact on the workflow of a lot of contributors)

 Hello,
 
 In order for make distcheck to work in folks, valadoc is required,
 which isn't in the gnome moduleset in jhbuild.  I've attached a patch
 to add it to gnome-suites-core-deps-3.6.modules.

Looks like it has a dependency on libgvc which your patch is missing
(it's also missing a dependency on other things like gmodule, but I know
where to find those).

 Ah, libgvc is part of graphviz.  Not sure if that's in jhbuild modules
 or not. I couldn't see it, so just installed graphviz from my distro
 and it built after that.

jhbuild is not consistent about having external dependencies marked[1]
but it'd help to at least try adding it.  If you want to do this
right in modern jhbuild since system dependencies landed, you
can add graphviz as a module, and hopefully it has a pkg-config
file.  If so, then jhbuild will reuse the graphviz-dev or
whatever from the distribution if available.

Look at say nspr or libcroco for an example of an external
tarball with a pkg-config element.

[1] the dependency information in the moduleset is an out of date cache
 of the stuff in configure.ac in practice, which is really also
 an often out-of-date cache of the dependencies in the actual
 source code.

 Ok, here's a new patch that seems to work here.  Thanks for the pointers.

The patch looks OK; thanks!  But would you mind writing a commit message
and submitting in git format-patch style?  See
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove/SubmittingPatches

I don't mind too much doing it manually, but if you already
have a git checkout, it's just a small step going from
'git diff' to 'git commit -a; git format-patch -1'

If you're unfamiliar with git, I don't mind doing it, but
it's well worth learning if you plan to submit more than
one patch, which hopefully you do =)

Thanks!

 Hey,
 
 we have a reported crasher bug[0] for which I'd like to push a quick

 requires some investigation and would hopefully be included in time for
 3.2.1.

Discussed this on IRC; +1 from me given testing from the reporter.

Hm, yes it looks like you needed GNOME_MAINTAINER_MODE_DEFINES, and my
patch is irrelevant.  I ended up changing the jhbuild release scripts
to explicitly specify --disable-maintainer-mode.

GNOME 3.1.4 Development Release

2011-07-31 Thread Colin Walters
GNOME 3.1.4 Development Release
=

This is the fourth development release of the 3.1 cycle.  There are
some new notable features like a new media handling UI, but mainly
infrastructural work.  A number of modules I know didn't roll a
tarball for 3.1.4 but nevertheless have exciting stuff in git - for
example, gdm.  The current list of notable features in progress for
GNOME 3.2 is here:

https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointOne/Features

Remember, this is still an early development release.  There are some
known issues:

seed crashes: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653903

To compile this release, you can the jhbuild [1] modulesets [2] (which
use the exact tarball versions from the official release):

 [1] http://library.gnome.org/devel/jhbuild/
 [2] http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/3.1.4/

The release notes that describe the changes between 3.1.3 and 3.1.4
are available. Go read them to learn all the goodness of this release:

core  - http://download.gnome.org/core/3.1/3.1.4/NEWS
apps  - http://download.gnome.org/apps/3.1/3.1.4/NEWS

The GNOME 3.1.4 release is available here:

core  sources - http://download.gnome.org/core/3.1/3.1.4

 Why is accountsservice using API from unreleased polkit? I can maybe have 
 something ready on Monday; it's not as easy as just rolling a tarball as 
 there are yet unreviewed patches

Because people only build and work from git, and then we have lots of
last minute panics when we fail to increment versions in configure.ac
scripts?

Why can't you just make a tarball from what's there, and get to the
unreviewed patches later?
