The constant political bickering needs to stop. This is a development list and should be focused on development-related and technical discussions. As an example, things that need to be discussed with/about the Council can go to the gentoo-council mailing list. Topics to be discussed with/about the Trustees or the Foundation should go to gentoo-nfp. I think we all should do our part in asking people to keep things on topic, and for discussions to move to the proper lists. If it isn't about development, it doesn't belong here. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hi, I really like the way where this mailinglist is heading with this topic. I subscribed to this mailing list a while ago with the hope to read more stuff like this, rather than all those rants from the previous days. I've already seen a lot of "requests for help" passing this thread, covering a wide range of topics. I suppose these "direct" requests will certainly attract more people, who don't really know where to start contributing, to the Gentoo community. Keep it up a little longer ;) Gheers, Steven -Bokke- De Bock Rémi Cardona <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Michael Cummings a écrit : > So, fellow devs, what's new with development?

Gnome team's working on gnome 2.16.3 and 2.18. 2.16.3 is just a maintenance release 2.18 is the latest and greatest, not that many user visible changes. Better gstreamer support, better hal integration, fixes in evolution, ... I encourage all gnome users to try it out and let us know if it works for them so that we can unmask it over the coming days/weeks. Oh and I'm working on an updated gnome2 eclass, as the current one reads data in /var/db. Fixing this should fix gnome/xfce packages for paludis users among other benefits. If anyone wants to fix env saving in portage, it would help us a lot :) Cheers, Rémi -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list - Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!
