Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

I looked at gnome 3.12 using void linux which ported it. Looks great. And I think, looking at what JGC said we will get it in [gnome-unstable] around early april, not before... We'll wait big_smile

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

Note that compile time is not really the issue here.  A major update like this takes a lot more than just bumping package numbers and rebuilding. The may be new dependencies that need packaging, sometime new releases just don't build or other software does not rebuild against them and needs patching, and we have to ensure things actually work.

I remember gnome 3.6  (or 3.4 ?) upgrade and gnutls which broke evolution calendar. Waiting for all rebuilds is the only thing to do now.

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

I was trying to build it for a while using jhbuild and it was falling over on itself all over the place. When I finally gave up it was mostly breaking on a bunch of "make -all--recursive" errors that were in a bunch of the different modules it was trying to build.  IIRC there were 248 different components to the build that were all syncing from git and a bunch of other libs that it needed to build. Not to mention all of the little hacks (like forcing python2) just to get it to try to build.

It's not an easy process so I'm very grateful to @JGC for sticking with it and being very patient.

On a related note @JGC, is there anything that anyone can do to help you out?

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

I have GNOME 3.12 installed in my system (from git, with many PKGBUILD I write and maintainer).
How can I help for getting GNOME for Arch's repo more faster?

I just created an account so I can thank @jgc for all the hard work in getting GNOME 3.12 out.  Thanks from the GNOME foundation!

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

It seems like the build server is alive again? At least I can see some package updates from today on http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/gno … 4/?C=M;O=A ... this is great news smile

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

If anyone wants to build gdm 3.12.0 I have just fixed the patches and PKGBUILD locally.

PKGBUILD - https://gist.github.com/blackout24/f38d64fba563fe872554
fix_external_program_directories.patch - https://gist.github.com/blackout24/17fab5af2be54b04e075
Old arch_pam.patch still applies.

Use at own risk. I don't know if the sha256sum for the new patch still is the same as the file on my PC when you grab it from the gist. The PKGBUILD only needed to change from gui/libgdm to libgdm since that folder seems to be in a new place in the 3.12 source tarball. This also needs dconf 0.20.0 from [gnome-unstable] to build, because a new command is used:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits … 03224.html The original line for the external_program_directories.patch patch only changed slightly.

PC still boots into GDM and logs in with everything else being on 3.10.

Stupid question at this point. How to use the repo? I have the repo in my pacman.conf, but I don't get any updates? What am I doing wrong?

Position of the repos in pacman.conf matters. The priority is from top to bottom. So if [extra] is above [gnome-unstable] and both have a mutter package it will prefer [extra].

I just installed everything from [gnome-unstable] to build gnome-shell 3.12.0 by simply updating the version number and checksum:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ … .sha256sum

It needs the new javascript and gobject stuff to build succesfully.

This gives you a working 3.12 installation.

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

Only bug I noticed : details in gnome-control center crashed in my virtualbox test installation.

Besides this, seems to work great. My laptop will be upgraded in about an hour. So, I'll see if gnome-control-center details crash is only a virtualbox issue (related to lack of DRI ?!)

It is a VirtualBox bug. My laptop is running gnome 3.12 with gnome-shell-extension-weather-git AUR package. Remaining ? My desktop computer wink

Only missing applications I can see : Brasero. Looks like I will have to tweak a little old PKGBUILD big_smile

It needs a working xwayland server otherwise it will not even start, even with the open source Intel driver.

http://falstaff.agner.ch/2013/10/08/arc … n-wayland/

The method to build the intel DDX and xorg-server with xwayland patches from AUR isn't what seems to be the approach that will make it into the mainline X server.

Upgraded without any issues.

I think that's a developer preview. You'll also need to compile a patched driver from the AUR to do so.

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

I just upgraded. The only hiccup I had was a requirement of totem 3.10 for totem-plugin; I just uninstalled totem-plugin and things worked great from there. Huge props to JGC; you built everything in no time!
