Preliminary stabilization list with comments

This is a preliminary full stabilization list.
It contains a sizeable number of "SHOWSTOPPER" markup, mostly applied to
various stabilization visibility issues we need to think about how to solve.
Please review these, and the other comments, and the versions picked for the
core libraries (newest glib, pango and gtk+ fine?).
After we solve the problems marked as SHOWSTOPPER, we should be able to start
thinking about CCing arches.

Added "some" STABLEREQ bugs as dependencies that should get fixed (stabilized)
before GNOME-2.26.

The preliminary.list is best looked outside of browser in a text editor that
has tab width set to 4 spaces.
I think we should also certainly (try to) fix bugs 260827 and 266398 before
stabilization. I'd find 269318 very annoying for myself also.

gedit-2.26.3 fails tests. Patch is available in bug 262325

firefox-3.5.2-r1 is going stable, this branch of firefox depends on
xulrunner-1.9.1.2 which will cause breakage in stable for packages like
epiphany. We are trying to close up security bugs and have many bug fixes that
will not be backported to the 3.0.x branch of firefox.

preliminary.list.eva-comments.patch

Please now considere gnome-terminal-2.26.3.1-r1 for stabilization, see bug
269318

Anjuta-2.24 will suffer from bug 270790 when GTK+-2.16 is stabilized.
Anjuta-2.24 is not yet stable on most architectures, but there is a request for
stabilization in bug 268359. You may want to withdraw that request, or
stabilize Anjuta-2.26 instead.

we should add >=nautilus-open-terminal-0.16 to that list too

Patch which updates few versions

About consolekit stabilization I sent bug 278181 some time ago, I am using this
set without problems:
sys-auth/pambase-20090515
sys-auth/consolekit-0.3.0-r1
gnome-extra/policykit-gnome-0.9.2-r1
sys-auth/policykit-0.9-r1

I can send a stable bug report for pambase and policykit if you want

About gnome-games, maybe bug 271976 should block this one (I have enough
bugzilla permissions but let you to allow me to do that)

About gnome-settings-daemon/pulseaudio issue take care that it depends on
libtool-2 stabilization (bug 257399) as said in
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281342#c9

About gvfs/bluez problem, I think that he is referring to bluez-4
stabilization: bug 250909 tracks bugs related with transition to new bluez, I
posted some comments on it with updated information about packages missing
migration. Also, I think that some old packages should be masked for removal.
About updated documentation for bluez-4... it's harder as I don't know much
about bluetooth (I got my bluetooth working simply following current guide for
bluez-utils-3*, and haven't tried to update to bluez-4 yet)

About gnome-panel/networkmanager, I have no problem with nm-0.7, I simply
didn't sent any stabilization request because I was waiting for policykit-0.9
to be stabilized also (I would stabilize 0.7.1-r6, but its maintainers will
know better)

About brasero/nautilus-cd-burner... I though that in gnome-2.26 no app was
still depending on nautilus-cd-burner :-/

policykit and policykit-gnome have an OK from the maintainer (dang) to be
stabilized together with GNOME-2.26, so that's ok, but you seem to mention that
those in turn will need some other things stable as well out of our control?
(CK?)

In theory policykit should work with ck-0.2 and 0.3 (but I haven't tested it
with ck-0.2) but latest gdm requires ck-0.3 because of newer pambase

We are not stabilizing gdm-2.26

I know, I meant 2.10.10-r2, sorry for misexplaining it

Almost final stabilization list

This is an almost final stabilization list, based on which I'll let the LiveDVD
guys see if we can get things included in the last days or not.

What is still missing for sending it off to arch teams:

* Writing of a GLEP-42 news item, with casual user friendly wording, for seeing
the upgrade guide for potential problems about the menu handling changes
(XDG_MENU_PREFIX), nautilus restart loop problem if it doesn't handle the
desktop, and so on
* Figuring out what is to be done to get anjuta-2.26 stable too. 2.22 doesn't
really work anymore...
* Adding any other missing things to the list (accerciser, gnome-open-terminal,
...)
* Fixing some remaining bugs - at least gedit tests and gnome-desktop libXrandr
stuff has patches and easy to do, worth fixing quickly first.

ETA on all that is Friday (today) evening/early night from my end, help on the
news item and committing fixes to gedit tests/gnome-desktop+randr very much
appreciated!!

*** Bug 287366 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 287365 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

We probably want to add app-crypt/seahorse-plugins too

Final GNOME-2.26 stabilization list

This is the final list as far as I'm concerned. Updated gnome-mag for the
translation updates released, added two XFCE4 packages that are needed to work
with libxklavier-4.0, added accerciser and nautilus-open-terminal (should we go
with early 0.17 instead of 0.16?), and some more fiddling.
anjuta-2.26 can wait for a little while longer, and we can follow-up with that
soon after in a separate bug. The basics of anjuta-2.2 seem to work fine on
GNOME-2.26 in my stable+GNOME-2.26 x86 chroot - no issues hovering around
menus, etc. For anjuta-2.26 we need devhelp-0.23 or porting of devhelp plugin
to work with either gecko or webkit-gtk based devhelp (shouldn't be hard). For
devhelp-0.23 to go stable, I first want a more secure webkit-gtk stable, which
involves libsoup-2.28 and webkit-gtk-1.1.15.1 in the main tree and stabled for
security@.

Going to write a glep 42 news item for gentoo-dev review after a nap, have it
be reviewed while day-job working and then go with this list to arches,
possibly first fixing gedit tests bug and gnome-desktop randr mixup bug, if not
already fixed by then. Help with any of that most welcome, especially the news
thing still....

Hello arches, please stabilize what you see listed with your arch in it in the
previously attached final.list file. Best seen outside browser with a tab size
of four spaces. You probably need to take care of all the dependent bugs that
are stabilization bugs first.

I'll try to make per-arch lists at some point later, probably after at least
x86/amd64 (that have almost all of the listed ones to do anyway) have been
stabled.

The last item to look at it is accerciser, but feel free to look at the
comments afterwards for open keywording issues if you are sparc, m68k or s390
arch team member. m68k and s390 aren't CC'ed though, as they only have
xkeyboard-config, which is covered by another STABLEREQ bug too.

amd64 ..... DONE!

You also want to do 
=gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.26.2-r1
Opening the preferences dialog crashes with the previous one...

Is there supposed to be a copy of
/usr/portage/app-text/evince/files/evince-0.3.1-dvi-64bit.patch.bak, or was
that a mistake?

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/app-text/evince/Manifest?r1=1.226&r2=1.227

A newer evolution-sharp is needed to prevent:
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

gnome-extra/evolution-data-server:0

  ('installed', '/', 'gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-2.24.5-r3', 'nomerge')
pulled in by
    =gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-2.24* required by ('installed', '/',
'dev-dotnet/evolution-sharp-0.18.1', 'nomerge')
    (and 8 more)

  ('ebuild', '/', 'gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-2.26.3', 'merge') pulled
in by
    >=gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-2.26.3 required by ('ebuild', '/',
'mail-client/evolution-2.26.3', 'merge')
    (and 8 more)


It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Maybe evolution-sharp-0.21.1 should be stabilized also

Please file a bug to the dotnet guys, I don't have any opinion of its
stability, and they refused to stop using *-${PV}* dependencies in favour of
>=${PV} when I last complained about issues like this happening.

Sorry, evolution-sharp stuff is already being handled in bug 288324, and even a
blocker. I so should keep up with bug report mail on a daily basis.

x86 stable

I don't know if this is the right place to do this, but:

x86 stabilization is missing AT LEAST these packages:

=gnome-base/gnome-control-center-2.26.0
=gnome-base/gnome-light-2.26.3
=dev-python/gnome-python-base-2.26.1
=dev-python/libgnomecanvas-python-2.26.1
=dev-python/gnome-vfs-python-2.26.1
=dev-python/gconf-python-2.26.1
=dev-python/libbonobo-python-2.26.1
=dev-python/libgnome-python-2.26.1
=dev-python/gnome-python-2.26.1
=dev-python/gnome-applets-python-2.26.0
=gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.26.2-r1

Update is on x86 is currently broken because of unmet dependencies. There are
probably more.

Try 'emerge --sync' once again. My 'emerge -pvDuN world' lists all those
packages...

It was fixed right after I made the comment. Thanks.
