22693	Gnome 49 problems to tackle before blfs 12.5	pierre	pierre	"Package freeze for 12.5 is in about three weeks, and there are several problems with gnome 49. We have to make a decision about non-systemd builds for the release, and even on systemd, a few issues remain. Here is a list of the issues and options:

** systemd
- the environment of the gnome system is the one provided by the system (not sure exactly where it is fixed, gnome-session, gdm, ...), not the one set in our /etc/profile.d files. In particular PATH is set to `/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin`, and programs in /opt cannot be found.
- the commands for starting gnome on the gnome-session page don't work at all. I'm not sure we want to keep this paragraph, but if needed, I've found a way to start gnome without using gdm with (XDG_SESSION_ID has to be taken form loginctl output):
{{{
systemctl --user set-environment XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland XDG_SESSION_ID=1
systemctl --user start gnome-session-wayland@gnome.target
}}}

**SysV
- issue (major): nothing works
- options (no comment here):
   - drop gnome on SysV
   - use openrc as init system
   - use systemd as a user process manager, while keeping sysv as init system"	defect	closed	normal	13.0	BOOK	git	high	fixed
