Recently, gnome-mount was released. Can we have a new version in portage?
Maintainer are aware of releases since some maintainers are involved in upstream. You filed this bump request a few hours after the actual release, the time period was while the maintainers were asleep. 0-day bump requests only serve to annoy.
(In reply to comment #1) Oh, I am very sorry, i didn't look at the date. Please excuse me, I usually wait about 6-10 days before asking for bump or something similar.
Well, Doug, zero day bugs might be annoying, but it doesn't look like having waited for two weeks would have changed anything...
(In reply to comment #3) > Well, Doug, zero day bugs might be annoying, but it doesn't look like having > waited for two weeks would have changed anything... And a condescending tone will do nothing but to further annoy maintainers... 1) "Any updates on this?" is more than enough to gently remind us. 2) Have you actually _tried_ bumping 0.8 locally? Does it work? If so, please let us know, it will actually _help_ us. No thanks for you
I have been running this locally since it was released. The ebuild can be reused with some dependency changes. The libgnomeui dependency has been dropped. New deps are >=dev-libs/glib-2.15 and if the nautilus extension is being built also >=gnome-base/nautilus-2.21.2
Do you mind posting a diff of your ebuild against the lasted in portage? Thanks :)
Created attachment 162262 [details, diff] Patch to add gnome-mount-0.8 to portage Patch to add gnome-mount-0.8 to portage
I did a copy -0.7 to -0.8, ebuilded the digest and emerged it. Everything seems to work fine.
This bug needs to depend on bug 214801.
gnome-mount-0.6 cannot properly unmount my ipod with the current ~amd64 GNOME (I get "there's probably no media in the device"). Bumping the ebuild locally to gnome-mount-0.8 fixed that issue and brought no problem with it.
I am also using it since days without policykit, are you sure this depends on 214801 ?
alright guys, please stop commenting, we got your point and will look into it whenever we have time. As you may have noticed, gnome herd is a bit slow these days because we are all busy with real life. I'll try to dig this when I finished moving the rest of the gnome 2.24 packages anyway.
bumped in portage. gnome-mount actually uses policykit/pk-gnome but through dbus interface and with graceful fallback in case it is not registred on the bus. pk is only needed to get priviledge when needed which wasn't previously possible anyway so there is no regression here. A ewarn could be a good idea though for guys using pk but for now I'd say it ok as it is. Closing and thanks for all the comments.
