Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm sure that you all have heard of the new GNOME 2.12 release scheduled |
| 4 |
for September 7th. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The GNOME herd has been working furiously these past few weeks to bring |
| 7 |
the latest Release Candidate 1 to you for testing! |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Heres a link to one person's review, if you'd like to see what's new: |

If you would like to help us find bugs in this release, please unmask all |
| 13 |
packages located in the GNOME 2.12 section of package.mask. Also, these |
| 14 |
need to be placed in package.keywords. I've posted |
| 15 |
package.unmask, package.keywords, and instructions to ease testing at: |
| 16 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~allanonjl/gnome/2.12_rc/ |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The gnome-2.12_rc1.ebuild should hit the mirrors shortly. ( just committed |
| 19 |
) |

We already have a tracker set up, it's: |
| 22 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103197 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If you find a bug, please assign the bug to gnome@g.o, and then add |
| 25 |
103197 as a blocker for your bug. ( Of course, after you search :) ) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
We also have a new tracking page that has helped us with this release ( |
| 28 |
and the official release soon ): |

Some changes that may be useful to note: |
| 32 |
* mozilla is no longer a requirement for GNOME since epiphany can compile |
| 33 |
against firefox |
| 34 |
* local use flag 'firefox' added for totem |
| 35 |
* local use flag 'firefox' added for evolution-data-server |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Some last minute bugs that were just committed ( may be a little bit |
| 38 |
before they hit the mirrors ): |
| 39 |
* evolution-data-server must be compiled +ldap +kerberos in order for |
| 40 |
libexchange-storage module to be built for evolution-exchange |
| 41 |
* gnome-desktop dependency in gnome-panel bumped to the 2.11.x version |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Special thanks go to ka0ttic for keeping the c++ bindings up to date and, |
| 44 |
of course, everyone in the GNOME herd for the hard work so far. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
We are aiming to move the official GNOME 2.12 release out of package.mask |
| 47 |
( and into unstable ) around September 14th. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Thanks, and happy bug hunting! |
