Well-written; thanks for posting! That being said, I miss the days of
Ubuntu shipping the most recent GNOME (after a month of integration &
testing).
Do you think it would be possible to return to the original Ubuntu
schedule of GNOME release date + 1 month?
This touches on a bigger issue: What is Ubuntu GNOME going to be in the
future? Two options:
- A remix of stock Ubuntu with Gnome-Shell as desktop based on the
version of Gnome shipping with Ubuntu.
or
- A Ubuntu based distribution with the latest version of Gnome available
provided by the Ubuntu GNOME team.
No there is only *one* option:
- An Ubuntu based distribution shipping with the current stable
version (which happens to be GNOME-1).
I think in general there are alot of misconceptions around what is
actually an official Ubuntu flavour.
Really it is about building a community around and then maintaining a
particular packageset within the ubuntu archives,
for us that is GNOME3 desktop, for Kubuntu that is KDE etc... Its not
uncommon to see comments like "whats the point
of Ubuntu GNOME, when I can just install gnome-shell on Ubuntu", and
sure you can do that, but gnome-shell doesnt just magically
appear in the archives, it is maintained by the Ubuntu GNOME team.
The second option would mean that what today is the Ubuntu GNOME team
PPA becomes an official repository for the Ubuntu GNOME distribtion.
This would be kind of similar to how Linux Mint Debian Edition and
SolydXK relates to Debian or how Chakra relates to Arch.
That is simply not possible since we an official flavour, we simply
cannot include PPA's in the default install.
The whole Mir/Wayland debacle is going to force this issue at some point
unless Canonical decided to back off Mir (which I do not think will
happen).
There is no debacle here, Ubuntu will use MIR, Ubuntu GNOME and probably
debian, KDE etc will be using wayland. Wayland will live in the main
Ubuntu archives
For now I'm perfectly happy with Ubuntu GNOME they way it is, so don't
get me wrong. 14.04 will be a great release! :)
