GNOME 42. RC is now available!

[Javier Jardón]

Hi,

GNOME 42.rc is now available!
Enjoy it as fast as you can; the final release is scheduled for this
coming week.

An installer image (built from scratch using freedesktop-sdk 21.08 as a
base) is also available for testing and porting extensions:

https://download.gnome.org/gnomeos/42.rc/gnome_os_installer_42.rc.iso

This is meant to be installed in a virtual machine with EFI support
(such as the GNOME Boxes version available on Flathub) (I personally
had some issues testing the image in the current stable, so I
recommend to try the 42.rc version available in gnome-nightly if you
have problems too, see ttps://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Nightly).
You can also try to install it on bare metal but be warned that
hardware support is
very limited (join #gnome-os channel at irc.gnome.org if you are interested).

Also remember the corresponding flatpak runtimes have been published to Flathub.
If you'd like to target the GNOME 42 platform, you can test your
application against the 42beta branch of the Flathub Beta
repository.

We remind you we are string frozen, no string changes may be made
without confirmation from the l10n team (gnome-i18n@) and notification
to both the release team and the GNOME Documentation Project
(gnome-doc-list@).

Hard code freeze is also in place, no source code changes can be made
without approval from the release-team. Translation and documentation
can continue.

If you want to compile GNOME 42.rc, you can use the official
BuildStream project snapshot. Thanks to BuildStream's build
sandbox, it should build reliably for you regardless of the
dependencies on your host system:

Hi,

Some months have passed, and we have some progress on this.
Several patches have been merged and now several modules doesn't hard depend on
X11 anymore (like gedit or gnome-screenshot)

The current TODO list is as follows:
  - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/78
  - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gcr/issues/11
  - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/306
  - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-color-manager/-/issues/11
  - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/issues/131
  - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/issues/56

See [1] for more up-to-date info and in case you want to help with the effort

That was, indeed, my intention; a GNOME VM only with wayland (or as
little as X as possible)

Well, as you can see at [1] there is a lot of oversights :) (if you
see the branch as well I have
to disable some apps, like gedit, that hard depend on X11 at the moment)

I think more important is gcr, as a lot stuff depend on it

Thanks everyone for the help reviewing patches; still quite a lot of work to do!

A little experiment: GNOME on wayland-only?

[Javier Jardón]

Hi,

This weekend I was curios about how difficult would be to have GNOME
in a wayland-only system

Thanks to building GNOME in a sandbox (thanks to buildstream and
bwrap) and also thanks on using freedesktop-sdk as a base we can
easily control the whole stack, so I started to experiment [1]

Not sure how far we can go, but at least I'm discovering bugs and
submitting some patches on the way (some of them are already
accepted!)

At some point I would like to generate a parallel pipeline in
gnome-build-meta so at least we do not regress on wayland-only support
(and ideally we can create a parallel GNOME VM without X at all, who
knowns!)

I'm keeping the progress here: [1] if someone wants to keep track

Cheers,
Javier

Some nigthly flatpaks are failing to build

[Javier Jardón]

Hi,

It came to my attention [1] several of the nigthly flatpaks of our
core apps stop building against the latest GNOME flatpak runtime

Taking a look to the build failures, seems the main problems are:

1. Some of the modules depend on intltool or gnome-common; those are
not in the SDK anymore.
Solutions:
- Check a more version of the component doesnt depend on those already
(new versions of gnome-desktop doesnt depend on gettext/gnome-common,
for example)
- Port component to use gettext [2]
- Port component to not use gnome-common [3]
- (less preferable) Include intltool/gnome-common on your manifest, as
a submodule [4] or directly in it [5]

2. Build failure with the gspell dependency; this is [6]
Solution:
- Try to fix [6] or, in the meantime, depend on the latest release
tarball/tag instead master [7]

Please apply those fixes asap so we can have full green for the next
GNOME 3.34 release!

Many thanks,
Javier Jardon,

Please do a release if you have removed/changed a build dependency recently

[Javier Jardón]

Hi,

we currently have to apply these to make be able to compile the GNOME
3.33.1 release:

b8f6e28 Revert "sdk/vte.bst: port to meson"
7156f2b Revert "elements/core-deps/libvirt-glib.bst: It doesn't depend
on intltool anymore"
1196f6a Revert "elements/core-deps/libgsf.bst: It doesn't depend on
intltool anymore"
5e6312c Revert "elements/core-deps/libgovirt.bst: It doesn't depend on
intltool anymore"
127beeb Revert "elements/core/network-manager-applet.bst: It doesn't
depend on intltool anymore"
250bff6 Revert "elements/core-deps/libgdata.bst: It doesn't depend on
intltool anymore"

This is because the GNOME releases are based on the latest
release/tarball, not wherever is in master of each module

Can please the maintainers of those modules do a release so It's not
needed to workaround to be able to build GNOME 3.33.1 release?

GNOME 2.32rc2 (2.31.92) RELEASED

[Javier Jardón]

Hi all!

The second release candidate for 3.32 is here! Remember this is the
end of this development cycle; enjoy it as fast as you can, the final
release is scheduled next Wednesday!

We remind you we are string frozen, no string changes may be made
without confirmation from the l10n team (gnome-i18n@) and notification
to both the release team and the GNOME Documentation Project
(gnome-doc-list@).

Hard code freeze is also in place, no source code changes can be made
without approval from the release-team.  Translation and documentation
can continue.


If you want to compile GNOME 3.31.92, you can use the official
BuildStream project snapshot. Thanks to BuildStream's build
sandbox, it should build reliably for you regardless of the
dependencies on your host system:

Please check you module is not using gnome-common (MR's available)

[Javier Jardón]

Hi,

As you know, we are trying for several years now to get rid of
gnome-common. Reasons here [1]

We are actually _really_ close to that objective (see [2])

But we need your help; would it be possible to:
- review the MR's available to your module ([2] contains links to each module)
- make a release if possible?

Thanks a lot,
Javier

If you want to discuss about the GnomeGoal, we can do it on another thread.
But this is going for several years and nobody has complained before (and
gettext has been improved to implement functionality only intltool
provided before)

Not sure it has been a misunderstanding here. I'm simply asking maintainers to
confirm if they actually depend on intltool. I can do it myself but
the list is quite long
and I though it would be easy to simply ask for help

if you don't have time / don't want create a MR a simply comment in
the issue [1]
would be more than welcome (sorry, maybe I should say that in the previous
email)

Cheers,
Javier

Maintainers, please check if you actually depend on intltool

[Javier Jardón]

Hi,

As you probably know, for some years we have been trying to move to
upstream gettext [1]

A lot of modules have been migrated, but is possible that change is
not reflected in gnome-build-meta [2] yet (this is the repo the GNOME
Release Team use to make releases)

So, if you can go through the list at [3] and open MR's to reflect the
real dependencies of your module, that would be great

Take attention to the warning on the top of the page though! A release
of your module with the dependency change should exist, if not we will
have to revert to do the next GNOME release

Cheers,
Javier

GNOME 3.30.2 RELEASED

[Javier Jardón]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of GNOME 3.30.2, the final planned
release for the GNOME 3.30 series (sorry for the week delay)

It includes numerous bugfixes, documentation improvements, and
translation updates.
All distributions shipping GNOME 3.30 are strongly encouraged to upgrade.

Also, for this release I wanted to take advantage of our CI system to
make the build process publicly available [1]

Packages should arrive in your distribution of choice soon, but if you
want to compile
GNOME 3.30.2 by yourself, you can use the official BuildStream [1]
project snapshot.
Thanks to BuildStream's build sandbox, it should build reliably for
you regardless of the dependencies on your host system:

The list of updated modules and changes is available here:
https://download.gnome.org/core/3.30/3.30.2/NEWS

The source packages are available here:
https://download.gnome.org/core/3.30/3.30.2/sources/

Our next major release, GNOME 3.32, is expected in March next year

GNOME 2.30rc2 (2.29.92) RELEASED

Hi all!

The second release candidate for 3.30 is here! Remember this is the
end of this development cycle, enjoy it as fast as you can, the final
release is scheduled next Wednesday!

As a highlight of this release I'd like to mention:
- We have added i386 and armv7 jobs to the gnome-build-meta repo
(still working on some build failures, like [1] and [2])
- We have merged the branch [3] to build GNOME flatpak runtimes
directly with gnome-build-meta instead gnome-sdk-image repo [4]
More work is still needed [5] but this will eventually allow us to
maintain a single set of metadata instead 2 different ones. Kudos to
Abderrahim Kitouni for his work on this!

We remind you we are string frozen, no string changes may be made
without confirmation from the l10n team (gnome-i18n@) and notification

GNOME 3.29.2 RELEASED

[Javier Jardón]

Hi all,

GNOME 3.29.2, the second unstable release in the 3.30 development
cycle, is now available.

If you want to compile GNOME 3.29.2 by yourself, you can use the
official BuildStream project snapshot. Thanks to BuildStream's build
sandbox, it should build reliably for you regardless of the
dependencies on your host system:

 https://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/3.29.2/gnome-3.29.2.tar.xz

One of the news from last release is that the CI of gnome-build-meta
git repo (which is used to build the whole GNOME) is now building for
aarch64 additionaly to x86_64. Thanks to the
https://www.worksonarm.com/ folks for the machine donation!

Build Failures
--
Instead of including a skip list of failing modules, I will just note
here which modules were unable to build and for what reason, it looks
like the majority of failures are due to lack of fresh tarballs:

  o gnome-system-monitor: Changed to use meson, new release
tarball exists but lacks the meson.build

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:

Hi all,

GNOME 3.25.1, the first unstable release in the 3.28 development
cycle, is now available.
The porting of more modules to meson continues (which is great!), but
It's still causing some problems for some modules. See below.

If you want to compile GNOME 3.27.1 by yourself, you can use the
JHBuild modulesets available here:

 https://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/3.27.1/

The lists of updated modules and changes are available here:

 core   -  https://download.gnome.org/core/3.27/3.27.1/sources/
 apps   -  https://download.gnome.org/apps/3.27/3.27.1/sources/

Because this is an unstable development release, there are bugs. I've
been unable to build some modules and I have temporarily disabled them
(some because the new meson generated tarball doesnt contain all the
files, others because some bug in my jhbuild installation). Please
help fix these. The list is here [1]

Well, json-glib is having CI for a while [1] now :)

But this is not going to scale if we do not fix [2] .
Who should contact possible providers (exoscale, AWS, digitalOcean

Sure, this is more to coordinate effort and avoid duplicating effort

Also help people that are interested to port and need some examples to

Hello,

the RDU2 community cage where GNOME Continuous is currently hosted
will face an 8 hours outage on the 14th of March
2017 (still not sure whether US or EMEA hours will be affected yet).
During this time the physical host will be moved to their final rack

If the outage window is higher than you would have expected we can try
working out other possible solutions with OSAS otherwise please make
sure proper announcements are sent to the user / developer base in time.

At your disposition in case of further details needed,

GNOME 3.23.4 released

Hi!

The fourth snapshot of GNOME 3.23 is now available!

Probably one of the most important features of this release is the
inclusion of a pre-release of GTK+4 for the first time.

Also, seems some libraries of the GNOME stack have seen a
"rustification" in this release (librsvg I'm looking at you)

The development of the next GNOME release, 3.24, has started, and the

are sure it will be much smoother in the next releases

GNOME 3.19.90 (first beta release) available

[Javier Jardón]

Hi all,

with a little delay, but here it is: GNOME 3.19.90 is now available.
Note I had some problems to compile some modules, but hopefully they will be
fixed for the next release:
- latest vte release tarball seems to not be available
- gnome-photos depends on an unreleased version of gegl
- glib didn't compile correctly here, so I decided to use the previous
glib release

Nevertheless, you should not have any problem is you use the
modulesets/jhbuild configuration provided in the releng folder (see below)

First beta means we have now entered The Freeze:

 - API/ABI Freeze (No API or ABI changes should be made in the
   platform libraries),

 - Feature Freeze (No new features can be added anymore, let's focus
   on stability and give the documentation team time to document the
   new things),

 - UI Freeze (same idea).

We are also now in String Change Announcement Period, string changes
can still be made (e.g. for typo fixes or translatability
improvements) but all string changes must be announced to both
gnome-i18n@ and gnome-doc-list

Details are available on the wiki:
  https://wiki.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/Freezes#The_Freeze
  https://wiki.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/RequestingFreezeBreaks


To compile GNOME 3.19.90, you can use the jhbuild modulesets published
by the release team (which use the exact tarball versions from the
official release):

   https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/
   http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/3.19.90/

 I've migrated GtkSourceView, and now when running autogen.sh I see those

 You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

 Is it normal? We don't want to add those m4 files on git. For
 autoconf-archive macros, we have chosen the preferred option, i.e.
 adding a dependency on autoconf-archive instead of copying the macros.
 So for gettext we want to do the same.

 'make distcheck' passes, but the listed macros above are not distributed
 in tarballs. --install has been added to the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS.

 Do you know what's wrong? Do we need to do something about it?

Use upstream gettext instead old/unmaintained glib-gettext, patch here [1]

GNOME 3.15.3 tarballs due

[Javier Jardón]

Hello all,

Only a quick reminder in case you missed this:

Tarballs are due on 2014-12-15 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.15.3
unstable release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which
were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule
so everyone can test them.  Please make sure that your tarballs will
be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that
will probably be too late to get in 3.15.3. If you are not able to
make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late,
please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll
the tarball for you!

TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 3.13.92 release candidate + HARD CODE FREEZE

[Javier Jardón]

Hello all,

Quick reminder: Tarballs are expected TODAY.

If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you
think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll
find someone to roll the tarball for you!

We will be entering the HARD CODE FREEZE: This is a late freeze to
avoids sudden last-minute accidents which could risk the stability
that should have been reached at this point.  No source code changes
are allowed without approval from the release team, but translation
and documentation should continue. Simple build fixes are, of course,
allowed without asking.

TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 3.13.4 due on Monday July 21th

[Javier Jardón]

Hi all,

A quick reminder to have your tarballs ready so we can prepare the
next unstable release in time for GUADEC!

Tarballs are due on 2014-07-21 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.13.4
unstable release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which
were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule
so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be
uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that
will probably be too late to get in. If you are not able to make a
tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please
send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the
tarball for you!

GNOME 3.13.2

[Javier Jardón]

The second release of the GNOME 3.14 development cycle is here.
See [1] for the new features that have been proposed for this cycle.

To compile GNOME 3.13.2, you can use the jhbuild [2] modulesets [3]
(which use the exact tarball versions from the official release).

Note that as part of Wayland development, 3.13.2 temporarily depends on systemd.
This is needed because Wayland support in GNOME depends on systemd, but
before 3.14 is released Wayland support will be made optional.

Hello all,

On 2 July 2013 13:08, Bastien Nocera had...@hadess.net wrote:

 Do discuss this with the release team if necessary. I think that the
 short-term regression is worth it for the longer-term benefits.

This issue was discussed in the latest release team meeting [1]:

- Pulseaudio developers plan a freeze by the end of the month and a
release mid August.
- It can be a bit late, but GNOME 3.10 is scheduled for end of
September [2], so it should work out.

So the decission is to going forward and try to support only BlueZ 5
for GNOME 3.10

- JHbuild modulesets has been updated to build pulseaudio master
(already with partial Bluez5 support)
- NetworkManager support can be tracked here [3]

We keep an eye on this and will look again at the situation during GUADEC.

 I had brought this up on IRC, but that morphed into a discussion with
 the BlueZ folks, so let me just summarise here:

 * The latest released PulseAudio does not support BlueZ 5, only BlueZ 4

 The BlueZ folks (João Paulo and Mikel) have been doing the heavy-lifting
 on this front. Knowing what the timelines are from GNOME's perspective
 would be useful in figuring out when we need to get this in by (and
 released) and whether this is possible at all.

Hi Arun,

thanks for the heads up
You can check the release schelude here: [1]

As you can see TheFreeze of all the modules is August 19, so ideally
the new pulseaudio version should be ready some time before.

A question about BlueZ: Is version 4 parallel installable with version 5?

GNOME 3.9.2

[Javier Jardón]

Hallo!

GNOME 3.9 development is getting underway, with the 3.9.2 snapshot
that is marking the second release of this development cycle [1].
Major changes in this release include:

- First GNOME release without any GConf dependency; Nice to see one of
  the GNOME 3 cleanup goals [2] achieved :)

A slight complication is that some modules (eog, totem, gedit) doesnt
build because a
problem with the libpeas release. For sure this will be fixed in the
next development release

To compile GNOME 3.9.2, you can use the jhbuild [3] modulesets
published by the release team [4] (which use the exact tarball
versions from the official release).

GNOME 3.7 development is getting underway, with the 3.7.2 snapshot
that is marking the second release of this development cycle [1]. Major
changes in this release include:

- First GNOME 3 release without fallback mode [2]
- First GNOME release that depends on GStreamer 1.0 exclusively [3]

To compile GNOME 3.7.2, you can the jhbuild [3] modulesets [4] (which
use the exact tarball versions from the official release). A slight
complication is that gnome-control-center 3.7.2 does not build against
network-manager-gnome 0.9.6.4 (you need current master), so the network
panel will not be builded

 So today I thought I would give jhbuild another try, so I can build gtk+
 3.5. My question is, after I cloned jhbuild, should I run autogen.sh with
 the --prefix=/usr option or is that not neccessary?

No, install as a normal user. Do not use jhbuild as root
Also, take a look to the Getting Started section of the manual [1]

 Hi,

Hello,

 Then the filename says output.pdf which any sane person will probably want
 to change. So I have to type the file name and then also add .pdf again and
 finally I can click Print.

FYI, There is a GnomeGoal proposed related to this [1]
