Going to be a long two days.

Let's add two more! These are needed for the new iconsets.

Here's a status update:

• So far, the following packages need to be added:
• tracker-miners
• -POSSIBLE- libgxps (for tracker-miners, allows XPS support in Evince and ImageMagick)
• gsound
• pipewire
• rtkit (for pipewire)

• Caribou will most likely be archived, if gnome-shell functions without it. There has been no upstream activity, and upstream is talking about archiving the git repository in the next release. It also has serious problems with Python3.

• If no upstream updates are available for gnome-nettool, it will likely be archived. Half of the commands called by it have changed options.

• Icons (adwaita, gnome-themes-standard, gnome-icon-theme-*) version entities will be moved out of gnome.net into packages.ent, to be consistent with the organization of the book.

• gnome-maps and gnome-weather will become available to SysV systems.

• The order for GNOME in systemd may be shifted slightly.

• Old gnome-minor-* entities in gnome.ent will be removed if not used anymore.

So far, gnome-online-accounts, gnome-keyring, gcr, gnome-video-effects, and several of the others will not get 3.32 releases unless an urgent problem is developed. GConf is only here for legacy applications and is unmaintained upstream, with official recommendations stating that a move to DConf needs to be done.

Finally get this to work... I spend a lot of time because I didn't have /etc/lfs-release so gdm refused to run.

I'm using g-o-a 3.31.90 and gnome-keyring-3.31.91 since their 3.32 version is not released yet.

I wonder what the holdup is on gnome-online-accounts and gnome-keyring. I suppose I could use their 3.30 version (We've got a policy about not putting pre-release stuff in), but that feels like a hack to me.

In this case, because it affects the gnome platform, go ahead with the development versions and jsut update them in place when the -32 versions are released.

[Douglas R. Reno]

Updated gnome-backgrounds, dconf, dconf-editor, tracker, evolution-data-server, libgtop, and libgweather

[Douglas R. Reno]

Updated geocode-glib to 3.26.1. With this final update, all of the GNOME Platform is up to date. It's now off to the races with the GNOME Desktop!

gvfs-1.40.0 submitted at r21442

[Douglas R. Reno]

Updated libsoup at r21448

Nautilus needs tracker-miners, which needs libgxps and libgrss. libgrss needs a ton of upstream fixes, so that will take at least a few hours.

I've already got the changes made, so I'll just submit it. It does provide some functionality.

Nautilus updated at r21450

[Douglas R. Reno]

Zenity done at r21459

[Douglas R. Reno]

gnome-control-center, gnome-settings-daemon, and gnome-bluetooth done at r21472

[Douglas R. Reno]

Mutter done at r21511

[Douglas R. Reno]

Updated yelp, gnome-user-docs, gnome-shell, gnome-shell-extensions, seahorse, libdazzle, gdm, and gnome-session at r21513

There are two known issues with gnome-terminal and gdm, but they do not break functionality and will be addressed in point releases hopefully.
