GDM decision making.

[Andre Klapper <ak-47 gmx net>]

Guys,

Beta1 tarballs due is on monday and we should decide very soon which gdm
version to use in GNOME 2.24 finally, also with regard to the required
string translations, see  http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gdm (hmm, no
manual listed for trunk, but maybe that's not a fault but a fact,
shrug).

For myself I started to find out what distros do...
      * Fedora will ship new gdm of course.
      * Foresight uses the new gdm in their devel branch and it "works
        pretty well"
      * Gentoo does not know yet which gdm will be used in their
        gnome-base/gnome-2.24.0 meta package and haven't tested it much
        yet
      * Mandriva - ? fcrozat might be around here...
      * openSuse release is in December, hence not a topic for them.
      * Ubuntu does not know yet, but tends to ship the old one it
        seems.
(Misunderstandings due to bad phone quality included, don't sue me ;-).

I'm quite undecided, for me it currently boils down to the theoretical
question "If Red Hat had an RHEL release in a few weeks, would they use
the new gdm for it or not?" If yes, I'd take it for GNOME 2.24 too.

No flames included (at least not intentionally).

Comments?
