Hi,
the first beta release of development cycle heading to GNOME 3.8 is
finally available.
Sorry for the delay, some technical and personal problems make the release to
take more time than expected.
With this release we are officially now in "The Freeze" [1]:
- UI Freeze: No UI changes may be made without approval from the
release-team and
notification to gnome-doc-list< at >gnome.org;
- Feature Freeze: new functionality is implemented now; API/ABI Freeze
for 3.7.x:
Developer APIs should be frozen at this point;
- String Change Announcement Period: All string changes must be
announced to both
gnome-i18n< at >gnome.org and gnome-doc-list< at >gnome.org.
More details about changes and news for this beta are available here:
core: http://download.gnome.org/core/3.7/3.7.90/NEWS
apps: http://download.gnome.org/apps/3.7/3.7.90/NEWS
The GNOME 3.7.90 release itself is available here:
core sources: http://download.gnome.org/core/3.7/3.7.90/
apps sources: http://download.gnome.org/apps/3.7/3.7.90/
JHBuild modulesets to compile GNOME 3.7.90 by hand are available here
http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/3.7.90/
Check the Smoketesting document [1] for instructions about how to compile
and test GNOME with these modulesets.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------
This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is
buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking
purposes. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development
status.

lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colourful 3.8

Everything went fine, please let me know if you notice anything strange either for /home/users directories and for /ftp on master.gnome.org. cheers, 2013/2/14 Andrea Veri <av-rDKQcyrBJuzYtjvyW6yDsg< at >public.gmane.org>
Recently Carlos added FTS4 and snippet support to Tracker. We merged that to master after doing some tests and have reduced the database size on disk by doing this. I released 0.15.2 yesterday with the FTS4 work, and today I decided to add a richer experience to tracker-search.
Below you can see me searching for passport and sue found in some of the documents indexed on my machine. The colour there is quite nice to separate hits and snippets/contexts where the terms were found. This search without any arguments really will search ALL resources in the database:
This second screenshot shows searching for love with all music in particular. So you can use this for all areas of tracker-search:
With any luck, we will be releasing a 0.16.0 in time for the next GNOME release with this all available in!
Hi, I've finally finished to move all the files from our old main NFS node to the new one. The switch will happen tomorrow, the services involved: - /home/users - /ftp - /mailman (mail archives) The services involved will be shutdown to prevent any data loss during the move, I'll make sure to run an extra rsync before switching to the new machine. Have an awesome day!
The move was successfull. Thanks for your patience. Bugzilla is back again but its DB is running on another host now. Have an awesome day, 2013/2/12 Andrea Veri <av-rDKQcyrBJuzYtjvyW6yDsg< at >public.gmane.org>
[ Regarding the new mail.gnome.org ] On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 04:10:52PM +0100, Andrea Veri wrote: That was a Perl script which failed because of a missing module. It didn't print any error message. Instead it just used 100% and that took Andrea+Owen a long time to figure out (script has not changed since 2002 or so :). I've rewritten the script in Python. It is not live yet, but over the coming days I'll be testing it. This script handles the URLs below: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/$LISTNAME/ (so not https://mail.gnome.org/archives/, just every link beneath it) In the new script I changed the layout. You can see it at: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-bugsquad/ though it'll be overwritten as soon as a new email is sent to that mailing list. If you notice errors please file a bug at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=sysadmin If you want to see the old+new script: http://git.gnome.org/browse/mhonarc/tree/ (archive.pl and archive.py) UTF-8 archive problem: Note: there is another problem in where the archives are not in UTF-8. That is due to upstart (RHEL6) not starting Postfix with LANG=en_US.UTF-8. Proper way to configure that is welcome. Note that postfix is just a sysvinit service in RHEL6, so the job configuration does not apply AFAIK. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693433 if you have ideas.
