Some notes about 2.15.4

[Vincent Untz <vuntz gnome org>]

Hey there,

In case somebody else wants to hit his head against a wall^W^W^W^W^W
smoketest 2.15.4, here are some quick notes from this afternoon (with
the modulesets from http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.15.4/ )

 + I didn't build ekiga, but it should be possible. We have to whitelist
   opal in the smoketest script, I guess

 + I still have a compiling issue in iso-codes, but I fix this by
   changing the lines causing an error to:
     p = make_parser(["drv_libxml2"])

 + we need a new pygtk release or to use GTK+ < 2.10.0:
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347185

 + we need a patch for gnopernicus or ship with 1.0.4:
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341942

 + I had difficulties for system-tools-backend because I don't have the
   perl dbus bindings installed (and there's no package for dapper???).
   It will be fixed in the next tarball, but it doesn't block us from
   using the current one.

 + jhbuild doesn't seem to know that liboobs is required for
   gnome-system-tools

 + gnome-session requires a new gnome-control-center. New
   gnome-control-center means that we should use libxklavier 2.91. Which
   means that we need a new gnome-applets release. Yay for API changes
   :-)
   (AFAIK, maintainers are rolling tarballs for gnome-control-center
   and gnome-applets now)

 + looks like we'll need a new gnome-mag release since LT_VERSION is
   wrong (Frederic knows more about this)

There are many tarballs that have been released after the deadline. I
can't give a figure since the archives are broken...
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ftp-release-list/2006-July/thread.html
There are some changes (like the gnome-vfs ones) that would benefit from
testing, so I'd like to use some of the late tarballs (if not all).

What do you think?

Vincent
