GNOME2.2 in current

Hi all,

  GNOME2.2 packages are uploading to current as I type this.

  Some notes for people upgrading:

  -- GStreamer and GStreamer based services crash; it's an upstream bug that only occurs when you have an i686 optimized glibc (like Arch Linux).

  -- Gnome-Terminal is a little flaky, not sure why yet - might be related to XFree86 4.3.0 and Xft2/fontconfig.

  -- If you build from sources, and the xfree86 package hasn't been fixed yet, you need to export the environment variable
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/pkg-config
  xfree86 put the .pc files there instead of the correct /usr/lib/pkg-config

  -- If you get any weird behaviour in apps, you should probably backup then delete your GNOME settings first: namely, ~/.gnome*, ~/.gconf*, ~/.nautilus, ~/.metacity ; this shouldn't be necessary, but you never know.

  -- And no, you still can't build GNOME1.x apps against the GNOME2.2 libs - there isn't, and probabyl won't be, GNOME1.x libs in Arch; they're depricated and no longer maintained upstream.  Most apps have GNOME2.0/2.2 versions now, if only in CVS version, including Galeon (or it's much better offspring Epiphany), Evolution, Sodipodi, X-Chat, Gnumeric, Abiword, and others.

Re: GNOME2.2 in current

I've done that!
But "pacman -Q | grep gnome" just show *2.0* and no *2.2*

I've had a look at the ftp-server. The old files are still up. Could that be the problem?

Regards,
Moritz

BTW: default pacman.conf (nothing changed)

Re: GNOME2.2 in current

I have a problem with it... when I do a pacman -Syu I get this:

loading package data... done.
error: unsatisfied dependencies:
  libgnomecanvas: requires xft2

Any ideas?

Re: GNOME2.2 in current

pacman -S xft2

though xft is part of Xfree now ...
guess that the gnome2.2 package dependencies are a bit outdated


apt-get install arch

Re: GNOME2.2 in current

It was a dep problem in the libgnomecanvas package (obviously).  should be fixed with today's release (2.2.0.1-2)

Re: GNOME2.2 in current

Ya, looks like I forgot to fix the dep in that package.  If apeiro or someone else hasn't fixed it already, I'll upload a new one in a bit.
