Re: Condition of Gnome Shell (git) and its issues

Well, this method worked fine for me (I didn't see this topic, so I had to read the AUR comments).
But I don't know why, the AUR version of gnome-shell-git does't display the title of the window (top left), but if I compile with jhbuild I have that title.
It's not annoying, but just odd

Maybe ... a missing dependency ? Could you find it ?

Re: Condition of Gnome Shell (git) and its issues

I'm trying to compile gir-repository-git, but it tries to overrite some files from other packages (pango, gstreamer0.10 and some others).  Since those packages (pango) are very important to other gnome packages, how can I get through it?

I have updated the PKGBUILD to use gir-repository from extra, not the -git one.

Kool!  However, it still depends on mutter-git, which depends on gir-repository-git... Can mutter-git depend on gir-repository from extra as well?

Υes, change it in the PKGBUILD with your favorite editor.

OK, I adopted Mutter-git (thanks Vamp898 ) which now depends on gir-repository.

Re: Condition of Gnome Shell (git) and its issues

@shaoren don't have much to do other than reporting upstream because is a coding bug. in fact is a warning and warnings are treat as errors because they wanted to be like that.

do you really want to use -git versions? i'm asking because gnome-shell and mutter latest release are in gnome-unstable repo.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Condition of Gnome Shell (git) and its issues

I just would like to try the upcoming gnome-shell without having to install the other softwares coming from the gnome-unstable repo.

However, I've tried the repository, and it works well, thanks!

gnome-unstable contains two packages: mutter and gnome-shell  nothing more
