<snip> > Thanks everyone for the help reviewing patches; still quite a lot of work to > do! Hi, Some months have passed, and we have some progress on this. Several patches have been merged and now several modules doesn't hard depend on X11 anymore (like gedit or gnome-screenshot) The current TODO list is as follows: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/78 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gcr/issues/11 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/306 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-color-manager/-/issues/11 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/issues/131 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/issues/56 See [1] for more up-to-date info and in case you want to help with the effort Cheers, Javier [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/issues/226 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
