Gnome 3.6 is not maintained by upstream now -> bugs are being fixed in |
| 21 |
3.8 and 3.9. Also, stabilizing 3.6 will point Gnome2 users to this two |
| 22 |
options: |
| 23 |
- Run gnome-shell |
| 24 |
- Run 3.6 fallback mode -> 3.6 fallback mode is using old gnome-panel |
| 25 |
stuff that was dropped in 3.8 because it wasn't really maintained |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
They will also be able to run 3.6 with openrc... but that will be the |
| 28 |
last version "working" with it, we will hit the same problem again when |
| 29 |
we want to stabilize 3.8 (well, 3.10 is going to be released in October, |
| 30 |
I think we have been waiting enough) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Also, I think we should stop spending a lot of time trying to keep it |
| 33 |
working with openrc, we simply don't have resources to do that at the |
| 34 |
moment (even Debian/Ubuntu people are stick with systemd-204 because |
| 35 |
they don't have resources to keep logind working without systemd in |
| 36 |
newer versions). Now, we are needing to put a lot of effort on trying to |
| 37 |
provide unit files and provide systemd related fixes in the tree because |
| 38 |
we haven't (in general) pay attention to systemd at all => I think we |
| 39 |
should put more efforts on it than trying to work on hacks to prevent |
| 40 |
systemd dependency. |
