Hello JCG, can you tell us the GNOME 2.26 schedule in Archlinux

hubertstar · 2009-03-16 07:45:26

same as title

simple say:Gnome 2.26, When?

Allan · 2009-03-16 07:51:47

Never. We are dropping all support for GNOME.

Seriously... </sarcasm>

JGC · 2009-03-16 08:41:08

The only correct answer is: When it's done.

I haven't had a single look at GNOME 2.26 yet, so it all depends on how much has changed for distributions in this release.

hubertstar · 2009-03-16 09:31:27

Thanks.

Waiting...

before 2.24, abs has a devel repos:gnome

2.26 will be out, so i'm waiting for this.

Pierre · 2009-03-16 09:51:33

I think Jan is still afarid of the update due to pulse-audio.

Allan · 2009-03-16 09:53:00

That is enough to scare anyone...

gnome 2.26 hasn't been release and you already requesting it? is funny to follow how that the same people that requested latest packages, will complain when something isn't working like it suppose too.

well as much i dislike pulseaudio, gnome has a nice integration of it:

I wish kmix/phonon could do this.

KDE has support for pulse-audio, too. but luckily it can be disabled. :-)

iphitus · 2009-03-16 10:41:01

Why is everyone so averse to pulse audio? (never used it, just curious)

Well what i actually meant was "would be nice if phonon/kmix would support this WITHOUT pulseaudio being installed" - namely having individual sliders for running applications

It is a (partially working) solution looking for a problem...

JGC · 2009-03-16 11:52:58

PulseAudio is a nice solution that gives nice features, like per-application volume control. I think it's one of the better soundservers around on linux. The point is that I always disliked soundservers because I simply bought a decent soundcard that can do mixing in hardware. Others are happy with alsa's dmix.

The situation with GNOME 2.26's pulseaudio mixer is that it possibly won't work at all when pulseaudio isn't installed or isn't running. I'm not afraid of this change though:
"If you want the old volume control back, then the --enable-mixer-applet
option to configure is what you want."
Until pulseaudio is an optional runtime dependency, I'll build gnome without the pulseaudio mixer.

Isn't this one of them, although cleverly worded?

I remember tons of

/etc/rc.d/pulseaudio restart

until I took it off.

The official release date + n days for getting it to actually work without >9000 bugs.

We can't start the where's Gnome threads yet. If everyone wants to talk PulseAudio, start another thread please.
