GNOME 2.91.1 status

[Lucas Rocha <lucasr gnome org>]

Hi all,

With all the moving parts in our platforms, I'm having a tough time
building 2.91.1. Here's the list of issues I encountered so far:

gst-plugins-base doesn't build with gtk+ 2.91.1. Fixed in master but
no new tarball is available.

evolution-data-server doesn't build with gtk+ 2.91.1. Matthew Barnes
is rolling a new tarball with a fix.

evolution and gtkhtml are not ready after gtk's rendering cleanup
according to Matthew Barnes.

gdl and anjuta are not ready for new gtk+ as warned by Johannes Schmid

So, as you can see, the GNOME 2.91.1 will take a bit longer to be
ready. I'll be working on it tonight and tomorrow. If you're the
maintainer of one or some of the modules listed above, I would really
appreciate if those bugs are fixed and new tarballs are rolled today
or tomorrow. Some of those bugs have pending patches so they should be
quick to fix.

I'm thinking of disabling libnotify support in the modules that don't
build with 0.7 just to get a generally buildable release.

Thanks!
