looking for remaining gnome 3.8 packages for the GNOME 3.8 transition to complete.

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,
These are a series of simplified replies from one of the pkg-gnome
maintainers on IRC which means there might have been a thing or two
which they have forgotten and there is a bit of planning and work to
do before the last bits of transition are put to execution in unstable
and ultimately to testing :-

<fatal> shirish: poppler is still in preparation, but not handled by
pkg-gnome and not blocking anything since mbiebl reverted the change
in evince so 3.8 builds with old poppler.

<mbiebl> yeah, basically all of at, aside from gnome-desktop

<fatal> shirish: the remaining push is a multi-transition involving
gnome-desktop, gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-control-center,
gnome-session, etc...

<fatal> shirish: they can't be updated separately AFAIK but I haven't
investigated the details, mbiebl knows better.

<shirish> fatal: so are you saying all of them would have to be
updated in one-go ?

<fatal> yes

<fatal> I'm betting mbiebl will in a not too distant future file a
transition bug where the title involves "gnome" which will be
interesting to read for anyone eagerly awaiting movement.


so at the very end,  'in not too distant future' hopefully mbiebl does
file a transition with the name gnome so gotta keep the eyes peeled on
http://release.debian.org/transitions/.

Till l8er.
