GNOME 2.26

Summary

Re-base to GNOME 2.26.

Owner

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 11
  • Last updated: 2008-11-10
  • Percentage of completion: 0%

Detailed Description

The main point of this feature is to ensure that Fedora ships the current version of the Gnome desktop.

Benefit to Fedora

Stay in sync with upstream.

Scope

Outstanding issues:

  • Keep tarballs updated
  • Resync image with new default apps
  • Make sure new modules and new external dependencies of Gnome 2.26 are packaged
  • 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

How To Test

TBD

User Experience

Largely unchanged, except for changes that we working on as separate features, such as Features/VolumeControl and Features/Empathy.

Dependencies

Depends on upstream Gnome, see the Gnome 2.26 schedule

Contingency Plan

Ship Gnome 2.24.3. This is not really feasible, though. Alternatively, if Gnome 2.26 does not happen in time for Fedora 11, ship a prerelease like 2.25.92 (we've done that before)

Documentation

Release Notes

Fedora 11 includes the latest version of the Gnome desktop.

For more information about what is new in Gnome, see the Gnome 2.26 release notes.
