Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. andreas@tpwch.com 2004-09-15 07:45:47 0000 I can confirm this, 2.8 is released. latexer@gentoo.org 2004-09-15 08:13:53 0000 And i can tell you, our gnome folks are probably pretty aware of it to. kyberneticist@yahoo.com 2004-09-17 15:53:46 0000 Sooo, not to be a-naggin' but with half-a-dozen distros announcing 2.8 builds, how come there's no ebuild in this bug? I'm more than willing to start testing. Are significant modifications needed to make a 2.6.3 ebuild work? bchesneau@gmail.com 2004-09-19 03:28:33 0000 can't test it, seem I can't unmask packages. andreas.kotowicz@gmail.com 2004-09-19 03:33:00 0000 just remove /usr/portage/profile/package.mask file and retry. joem@gentoo.org 2004-09-19 04:04:34 0000 this bug is useless enough, it doesn't need to become a support forum for people who aren't firmiliar with anything(thats what forums.gentoo.org is for). @comment3, gnome desktop and libs make up several dozen ebuilds, not one. It takes much more work then bumping a 2.6.3 ebuild. If you need to install it right now, I hear there are half a dozen distros that offer packages(keep yer pants on) @comment 4 man portage and read about the /etc/portage dir(or please wait until things are put into ~arch). @comment 5 don't offer a solution to the problem if you don't understand it. Removing package.mask is not at all the correct thing to do. Also man portage. @any future comments: the gnome team is very much aware of a 2.8 release(and any other gnome releated releases for that matter), and foser is working on the ebuilds now, adding them into the tree as quick as he can. There should be no need to comment on this bug. Hopefully the only other comment in this bug will be when 2.8 is added into ~arch and this is closed. foser@gentoo.org 2004-09-19 06:08:27 0000 Gnome 2.8 is now almost completely available in p.mask. From here theres a few hurdles to take before it can be moved out of there. List below... * general testing (duh) * all non x86 arches in meta (and probably some others) probably need to add keywords to certain new components (most new components are in a RDEP section after the large 'old' list in the gnome-base/gnome-2.8.0_prex ebuild) When this takes too long, those arches will be removed from meta (gnome-base/gnome) when it is removed from p.mask to minimize the overall stress. But most likely there will still be discrepancies in the tree (although most users wont notice them), this is a situation we'd of course like to avoid. * Add virtual/fam and dep on it to easy the move to gamin. app-admin/fam will stay first choice for now. Someone needs to do the works ;) * fix gnome-vfs/howl * add a newer release of hal, either official release or cvs snapshot. * ... probably something i can't think of right now CC arches currently in meta + devs who poked me about gnome 2.8 (yeah you know who you are) kyberneticist@yahoo.com 2004-09-19 07:11:49 0000 Thanks Joe. Yes, I'm aware there's more than one ebuild. bumping *all* of 'em up. Better? :) Buuuut, no rush. Was just wondering what the status was - and foser provided that nicely. bchesneau@gmail.com 2004-09-21 06:57:36 0000 @comment #6, I know how to unmask packages thx, don't be so obvious... What I don't understand is why there isn't yet any gnome-2.8_pre1 in /usr/portage/profile/packages.mask . I did today after a new sync grep 'gnome' /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask and no masked packages. The same for evolution-2.0 btw bchesneau@gmail.com 2004-09-21 07:01:18 0000 hum ok, just realized that all packages up to 2.7 was masked. My fault... foser@gentoo.org 2004-09-21 07:17:19 0000 This has gone on long enough! Please, this is no forum, 80% of the comments made add nothing relevant to the bug, while probably a few dozen devs are CC-ed on it receiving pointless, distracting traffic. Keep quiet if you got nothing useful to add. That being said, whats the status for the arches adding the new packages ? I know it's all a bit shortterm, but the few remaining issues are relatively minor and I'd like to get gnome 2.8 out of p.mask. ciaran.mccreesh@googlemail.com 2004-09-21 07:23:02 0000 Have you got a complete list of which packages need keywords added for each arch, and what USE flags to mask for each if they don't work? foser@gentoo.org 2004-09-21 07:34:56 0000 I don't have a full list, but the following list should probably cover most of it: dev-util/desktop-file-utils net-misc/vino gnome-extra/gal-2.2* gnome-extra/evolution-data-server mail-client/evolution-2* gnome-extra/evolution-webcal app-admin/gnome-system-tools net-analyzer/gnome-nettool deps going to be under 'hal' USE flag (non default) : gnome-base/gnome-volume-manager (not USE flagged yet in meta) sys-apps/hal sys-apps/dbus deps going to be under 'howl' USE flag : net-misc/howl (in gnome-vfs) not yet in portage : gnome-extra/gnome-games-extra-data the last one is just data files, nothing arch specific to consider so I might as well use the KEYWORDS from gnome-games from which it got split out. lv@gentoo.org 2004-09-21 19:37:09 0000 all the necessary ebuilds should be keyworded on amd64. pvdabeel@gentoo.org 2004-09-22 15:51:14 0000 PPC will have a look at everything asap. Have you got a list of ppc specific things that need looking at? gustavoz@gentoo.org 2004-09-22 18:24:49 0000 Sparc will look at it once the hal USE flag is around so we can mask it, otherwise it would involve some ebuild tweaking. lu_zero@gentoo.org 2004-09-23 07:54:46 0000 PPC is ok since 2 days ago, testing locally here, dbus/hal seems to need kernel -2.6.8.x foser@gentoo.org 2004-09-23 08:08:34 0000 hal USE flag has been added to the meta ebuild joem@gentoo.org 2004-09-26 19:50:45 0000 *** Bug 65477 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** geoman@gentoo.org 2004-09-28 09:56:20 0000 I'm attempting to build the new deps on mips right now. I'm not sure what to expect as I never even have tested older versions of some of this stuff beforehand. bug.tracker@surasoft.com 2004-09-28 23:56:46 0000 I'm on x86, installed the hardmasked gnome (with udev, kernel 2.6.7). gal won't compile, econf bails out, my solution was to emerge the new kernel headers, then redo glibc, aftwards gal worked... just pointing this as I'm not sure how it will effect gnome users in the mainstream bchesneau@gmail.com 2004-09-29 00:15:26 0000 ok on x86. - Same problem with gal. I had previousliy installed linux-headers but it was marked as block when emerging gnome. So I remoded it. But after removed it linux26-headers wasn't emerged before gal. I have to emerge them first and then everything was ok. - provlem with evolution 2: it doesn't replace evolution-1.4.6, dunno why. So /usr/bin/evolution refers to evolution-1.4 and not evolution-2 . - problem with gnome-themes-manager : it doesn't display themes foser@gentoo.org 2004-09-29 00:43:12 0000 this is a tracker, problems should go seperated in bugs blocking this one & please be more verbose about them than you are now, we can't do anything with these generic descriptions. gustavoz@gentoo.org 2004-09-30 12:27:57 0000 sparc is looking good, keyworded everything needed ~sparc, except hal which i masked for obvious reasons. No showstopper bugs so far, everything works like a charm. geoman@gentoo.org 2004-09-30 12:40:50 0000 Ok, mips should be all good for the unmasking now. gmsoft@gentoo.org 2004-10-04 02:42:11 0000 hppa should have everything ~keyworded. hal has been use.mask'ed since it was not tested yet. matthias@texx.org 2004-10-07 12:10:28 0000 i compile gnome 2.8 on my system yesterday. i can't start the gnome-system-monitor because the program can't load the libgtop libary. A recompile of libgtop don't work. Also the gnome system is very slow now. gene@erachampion.com 2004-10-08 12:47:26 0000 Could this be a duplicate of bug <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60945">60945</a>?? gene@erachampion.com 2004-10-08 12:49:16 0000 Sorry, ignore my last comment. foser@gentoo.org 2004-10-08 16:32:55 0000 We can't wait forever, altough all goals have not been met i've moved gnome 2.8 to ~arch. alpha removed from final keywords mask hppa : check evolution related deps, i left 2.0.1 in p,mask because of some bugs that need sorting & 2.0.0 didn't get keyworded thnks everyone for helping out We take the remaining issues to a new bug which will be created soon todorz@gmail.com 2004-10-08 17:38:58 0000 It's unmasked but there is a small problem in package.mask.
