Bug#658783: ITP: mate-common -- common scripts and macros to develop with MATE

2013-03-19 Thread Stefano Karapetsas

Hi Thomas,


Do you have any news about this package?
I see it in the "new-queue" some days ago but it seem to disappear 
from

the list now. Does it rejected?


Yes. mate-common was rejected due to an incomplete debian/copyright 
file and missing GPL headers. I prepared the next version and we are 
waiting that one of the DDs in our team will upload it again.


Cheers,
Stefano

Bug#658783: MATE Desktop Environment in Debian

Most issues people have with GNOME 3 “classic” usually boil down to 
“the

panel is black instead of grey”.


I dont think so. There are a lot of differences between MATE and GNOME 
fallback. Some examples: the new layout of all applications with so many 
removed buttons, the removed tree sidebar and compact view in nautilus, 
etc.


Anyway, you’re welcome to package MATE in Debian. Just fix all the 
code

duplication stupidity before. So far no one has volunteered to do so.


This is not true. MATE team is working hard to do this and we are in a 
good point. Migration to gsettings/dbus (and deletion of obsolete libs 
like bonobo, gconf, gnome-vfs, libgnome, libgnomeui and libgnomecanvas) 
is almost complete, and GNOME developers helped us on this too.

In addition to this, MATE offers new features too.

GConf is deprecated, but it is still maintained. It is still used 
e.g.

by evolution.

I don’t see the point of renaming it, starting another daemon, and
whatnot, if you provide the same functionality. If you want to keep
maintaining GConf for longer than they plan, I don’t think upstream
developers will prevent you from doing it.


This is a good news. I didnt know that GConf is still maintained. This
is a good point where we can start to share our forces!

Sorry but what is the point of *forking* GConf? What does it bring,
apart from more work for you and more processes for your users?


GConf is deprecated. MateConf is born to have a temporary solution 
until

we choose the replacement for it.

I saw some gnome design team mockups of all applications, and I find
its far from GNOME2.

Then, why don't you help them? (It is easier than re-packaging and
maintaining Gnome2).

Regards,


I just answered before. GNOME3 is a completely different desktop, and I
dont think it can have two ideas in same environment. It should follow
it main goal to have an attractive desktop.
We started to work on MATE and we understand that it's possible and
human to work and maintain it.

Best regards,
Stefano

MATE introduces a lot of code duplication, which is considered bad
in Debian, and is based on obsolete technologies - not just GTK2,
which will of course remain for a long time, but also things like
Bonobo which very few people really understand, and which are the
cause of a lot of not-well-understood bugs.

Maybe this could benefit to both parties if MATE team tries to reduce
usage of obsolete libraries to a bare minimum, and avoid using bug
monsters (like Bonobo and others). I guess this means a lot of work, 
but
that's the price to pay to ease its maintainability on the long term 
and
having it packaged within Debian. Did MATE team consider such a plan? 
If

yes, what was the outcome of the discussion?


Yeah. In our roadmap there is the dismissal of the obsolete libraries,
like the replacement of MateConf (the fork of GConf) with GSettings, 
and

so on. We are studying how replace Bonobo and ORBIT, too.
About this point I talked some time ago with Karen Sandler to find a
meeting point with GNOME3 developers to share more libraries possible
between the two desktop environments, to reduce the duplicated work.
I dont think work only on fallback session is the solution, because
GNOME3 is based on a different idea. I saw some gnome design team 
mockups

of all applications, and I find its far from GNOME2.
