Hi,
As said on IRC, moving GNOME 2.12 to unstable will not be a piece of
cake because it needs to move with the new dbus/hal so propably with a
new KDE too. So for the moment we would have the choice the work on
GNOME 2.12 on GNOME 2.13. I think we should pick the first option for
somes reasons:
- if we start working on GNOME 2.13 before having 2.12 to unstable we
let the choice to users between GNOME 2.10 or an unstable GNOME 2.13.
People probably expect to have the current GNOME stable rather than an
unstable branch.
- tracking an unstable branch is a lot of work. Updates and bugs come
quite often, you have to deal with patching and to reply to bug. For the
moment the GNOME team has no enough people to do a clean job on that
imho (the BTS for most of packages is already lagging on replies).
- we should better to put some efforts to sort the gconf/icon cache
changes now so we are ready when GNOME 2.14 comes.
Cheers,
Sebastien Bacher
