Some great news: The GNOME release team met in May to discuss
potential modules to be added to GNOME, and they approved
gnome-color-manager into the desktop set. This means that distros that
ship GNOME 2.32 will also be shipping gnome-color-manager by default.
The release team noted the excellent integration of GCM into the
desktop, and did not gather a single negative problem or issue to
watch.
What this means for GCM: More work, more users and more bugs.
* We have to do releases with the GNOME release schedule
* We have to fix up any deviations from the Human Interface Guidelines
* We have to keep random dependencies like exiv2 and SANE as optional
build time deps.
* We have to start testing on Solaris, FreeBSD and non-xorg platforms
and adding portability fixes and code where required.
* We have to remove deprecated module usage (GConf2 and dbus-glib are
already gone in master)
It's started a good day for me, as this recognizes the importance of
color management in the GNOME desktop, and the programming, testing,
artwork and translations from me and all you guys and girls. In the
coming months I'm going to need more help translating, testing,
checking, fixing and triaging bugs, so we can produce a
gnome-color-manager-2.32.0 that we're proud of.
Thanks.
Richard.
