[edit] GNOME 2.30
[edit] Summary
Include GNOME 2.30
[edit] Owner
- Desktop SIG

[edit] Current status

GNOME 2.30 has been built in rawhide and F13.
The default mode in nautilus has been changed to browser.
The schedule for Gnome 2.30 looks as follows:
| Feb 10 | 2.29.90 beta |
| Feb 24 | 2.29.91 beta |
| Mar 10 | 2.29.92 rc |
| Mar 31 | 2.30.0 |
[edit] Detailed Description
The main point of this feature is to ensure that Fedora ships the current version of the Gnome desktop.
[edit] Benefit to Fedora
Stay in sync with upstream.
[edit] Scope
Outstanding issues:
- Keep Gnome packages updated. For a list of affected packages, see http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentynine/Platform and http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentynine/Desktop
- Make sure new enough versions of external dependencies are in Fedora. For a list of external dependencies, see http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentynine/ExternalDependencies
- Make sure new modules and new external dependencies of Gnome 2.30 are packaged
- Follow major upstream changes
- Investigate if we can drop some of the removed modules. At least we should make sure they don't sneak onto a space-constrained live image. Candidates for this are libgnomeprint22, libgnomeprintui22, libgnomeui, gnome-vfs2, gnome-mime-data, hal, eel2.
[edit] How To Test
- Open System → About GNOME. Verify that it says "Version: 2.30"
- Verify that important desktop components work as well as they always have:
- the panel
- nautilus
- metacity
Hints about testing basic desktop functionality can be found at Desktop/Testing.
This section will be updated as it becomes more clear what the major test-worthy new features in Gnome 2.30 are. To get some idea what people plan to work on for 2.30, see http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap and http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap/Modules (but no guarantees that anything on those pages will actually appear in 2.30...)
[edit] User Experience
Largely unchanged. One noteworthy change is that nautilus defaults to browser mode now.
[edit] Dependencies
Depends on upstream Gnome, see the Gnome 2.30 schedule
[edit] Contingency Plan
If Gnome 2.30 does not happen in time for Fedora 13, ship a prerelease like 2.29.92 (we've done that before)
[edit] Documentation
See the Gnome 2.30 release notes.
[edit] Release Notes
Fedora 13 includes the latest version of the Gnome desktop, 2.30.
For more information about what is new in Gnome, see the Gnome 2.30 release notes.
