Re: [Banshee-List] gtk3 branch testing

[olivier dufour <olivier duff gmail com>]

We can not currently do so because gtk# master have not been released.

So we need first a gtk# beta release.

Same for Gudev#, we need a beta release of gtk3 branch of gudev# (and maybe a merge to master).

Cheers,
Olivier Dufour

Hello all,

We have raise a important step in gtk3 branch of banshee. It become
usable thanks to scroll-bar works now with the last git master of GTK#.
All graphical bugs have been removed thanks to a big work of Bertrand.

But now we need test. Do not open a bug on bugzilla for it but if some
users can test it and do a complete feedback about test to track any
regression on mailing list it can be usefull to fix all remaining bugs
before merge it to main (which is not plan for now to be christal clear).

In order to test you need a mono parallel environment. To do that you
can use script from there :
https://github.com/nathanb/iws-snippets/tree/master/mono-install-scripts
or done it manually with this guid
http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments
After that, you need to build the last gtk# version from git master.
Maybe you will need few other library that you can found on
https://github.com/mono
So build all and build banshee gtk3 branch.
I know that some good guy as David will do so but more people we have to
test, less regression we will face later.
Bertrand will said when we have to open bug for gtk3 branch bug but , I
repeat, not for now. It is just to have more people who test to avoid
regression with the big merge.

IMO the steps to do the testing are too complicated to do even for technical people. I think we should just merge the GTK3 branch as soon as possible to do a release. In the end we're still rolling out development releases, and this is exactly the purpose of this kind of releases: early feedback by users without the need of do the compilation themselves.
