Re: Opening the 3.12 cycle

2013-09-24 Thread Daniel Mustieles García
I think the original thread was to talk about the new plans for GNOME 3.12.
If you want to have a flame about or against FreeBSD, you should start a
new thread, having this one to discuss about plans and some new features
for 3.12.

 Systems not using systemd already fall back to ConsoleKit, which does not
 have any maintainer. We don't support features like suspend or hibernate on
 ConsoleKit anymore and it's pretty much on life support only at this point.

 For 3.12, we will keep the old gnome-session and gdm code that uses
 ConsoleKit and fork/exec ourselves in the case where you compile without
 logind support, but I wouldn't expect it to be around much longer.

 Do you have any specific examples of systems not using systemd that you
 would like to run GNOME on?

Android is not free, I said 'free'. If FreeBSD had users comparable to
that of Linux, why is it that in almost every other free software
project, developers target Linux first, if they target any other free
OS at all. We can't buildup a complete system based on Android anyway
even if it was free since its already a complete system.

Surely. As I already apologized, "FreeBSD users should just go away"
is not at all what I meant to say. However, my rather impolite comment
was in reply to his comment that sounded very much like "Why are you

By "not caring about", I mean us not thinking about it when we design
and implement various GNOME components. That is a fact and unless
there is some FreeBSD developers stepping-up and changing that, it
will remain to be the case. I only intended to make this clear. Once

Would you please people stop presenting things this way ? Telling people
that if they want the work done for their platform, they should
contribute is ok. Telling them their platform is archaic is not, and is
pedantic.

I hate when people use offensive words for GNOME, that's not to use them
when I'm on the other side of the fence. Please let people use what they
want, and be cooperative so they can achieve their goal, as long as it
doesn't give you too much work.

FYI, I've not even used any *BSD system in my whole life, but being a
Linux user, I know what it is to be part of a beaten-down minority.
Seems some of you forgot it.

nothing has really changed in that respect.

FreeBSD developers and users should follow the great example of
Antoine, who has been hard at work to ensure that GNOME builds and
works on OpenBSD.

it's an undeniable reality that most of the developers in GNOME use
Linux, which means things get developed, tested, fixed, and designed
on Linux first. the only way to counter eventual breakage on other
systems is to work upstream.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.

Sorry it came out so harsh. I only intended to make it clear that
Linux is the main (if not, the only) target most GNOME developers
focus on. Jasper said it much better. Anyway, apologies.

Really? How many people use GNU/Linux distros? From that POV we are
better off targeting Android. I don't think GNOME is in the OS
popularity contest.

There are much more compelling answers to Andrew's request, and I for
one would like to see people working on getting GNOME working on BSD's
as long as they understand that the majority of people run Linux and
that we are trying to achieve a certain level of integration with the
OS and that we expect certain features and services to achieve GNOME's
goals.

People can get GNOME working on the *BSDs, but is the developers
running those OSes the ones that have to figure out a way to catch up
with Linux and work with upstreams, it's just not realistic

Worth caring about? I care about any OS that has an OSI approved
license, I happen to run some incarnation of GNU/Linux and I try to
make things work on that one because it's the one I use. But that
doesn't mean that other OSes are not worthy of care by other people.
It's just up to those people to try to get things running on it.

The situation is the same as always: if somebody wants to maintain the
services to run on FreeBSD, you're very welcome to do that. But unless
somebody does the work, the existing code will probably get rusty and
broken.

But apparently its the only free OS worth caring about. I think Jasper
was asking about distros as I'm pretty sure he is well aware that
systemd doesn't run on an archaic OSs, such as FreeBSD.

Hi,

But maybe there are other things that people are working on, or want
to work on for 3.12 ? Now is the time to make your ideas known, and
turn them into concrete plans.


Hi,

I know this has been already discussed a lot, but application menu is 
currently broken.


There are some well-known issues, such as :
- multi-screen (application menu is really single screen oriented)
- focus follows mouse unfriendlyness

But the main concern imho is that the behaviour is completely 
inconsistent between applications.


Let’s say we have 4 types of application :
1) single window, single instance application (example : shotwell). 
These ones fits well with the application menu
2) multiple windows, single instance applications (example : 
epiphany/web). These ones also fits well with the application menu 
model, but there are inconsistencies between applications.
3) single window, multiple instance applications (example : 
gnome-calculator). These ones are a mess.
4) multiple windows, multiple instance applications (example : 
inkscape). These ones are also a mess.


Testing with gnome-3.8 on a debian sid/experimental (maybe some issues 
have already been fixed in 3.10, but in this case i missed them), we 
have the following behaviours :


gnome-terminal (2):
- opening multiple windows : using quit on application menu only closes 
active window


gnome-web, nautilus (2):
- opening multiple windows : using quit on application menu closes all 
windows


gimp (2) :
- application menu is not available when focus is on a tool window
- "Application Menu"->"Quit" doesn’t quit. It does a « close all », 
which closes all images but doesn’t quit gimp.


evince (2) :
- no quit button in application menu

gnome-calculator (3) :
- Mode only affects current window (note : this is agains design 
guidelines. Maybe it should be fixed at the gnome-calculator level).
- switching mode, then switching window makes application menu 
inconsistent with current application state

- quit only quits current window

inkscape (4) :
- using "File"->"Quit" quits only current process
- using "Application Menu"->"Quit" quits all processes.


I’m wondering how anyone can explain such behaviour differences to a 
user, during a training for example.


IMHO, gnome-web / nautilus behaviour should be the standard. Multiple 
instance application should be made single-instance, multiple window 
(note that i am talking about instances, not processes. empathy is an 
example of single-instance, multi-process application), and should 
follow the same scheme as nautilus.


So, here are the goals i would like to be added (by order of 
importance) :


1) complete the following page : 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/HIG/ApplicationMenus , with a description 
of the standard application menu item, the required ones (« quit » 
should be mandatory imho), and the expected behaviour for the 
applications, whether they are single or multi-process, single or 
multi-window.


2) Fix gnome applications that are not following the guidelines on 
application menu behaviour.


3) make applicaction menu multi-screen friendly. The MacOSX way 
(duplication of the menu bar on each screen) is ugly, but at least it’s 
more user friendly than nothing. Having the application menu on a 
different screen than the application window is definitely not a good 
idea.


4) make focus-follows-mouse and application menu work well together 
(this one is less important, since it only concerns a minority of 
users).

Julien

It wasn't hard to keep compatibility with the old way while working on
the patches.  Particularly since it requires not just a dependency on
systemd, but bleeding edge systemd, with architectural issues still left
to work out.

I think the most important thing is to get applications in their own
cgroups; redoing the internals of gnome-session is less useful for the
near future.

Systems not using systemd already fall back to ConsoleKit, which does not
have any maintainer. We don't support features like suspend or hibernate on
ConsoleKit anymore and it's pretty much on life support only at this point.

For 3.12, we will keep the old gnome-session and gdm code that uses
ConsoleKit and fork/exec ourselves in the case where you compile without
logind support, but I wouldn't expect it to be around much longer.

Do you have any specific examples of systems not using systemd that you
would like to run GNOME on?

The screenshots are translatable now, you just use a <_screenshot>
link and change any en_US in the URL to your country code if a
screenshot exists. I don't think we want to make this compulsory, it's
quite a high bar to set.

I would file it as a candidate. We'll probably do a few rounds of
adding information, etc, before it is ready to be accepted...

Yes, the idea would be that all applications have their own Appdata, marked
as translatable and verified with the script developed by hughsie.

Matthias: just a question about the wiki: do I create the goal as an
accepted on o as a goal candidate?

Thanks!

This could also come after a review of the appdata schema, for things
like screenshot translations.

The goal should include that all appdata is marked for translation.

I think that would be a great idea - could you set up the goal wiki
page and link it from the gnome-software feature ?

Opening the 3.12 cycle

2013-09-23 Thread Matthias Clasen
Hi,

with 3.10 getting wrapped up today, it is time to look ahead at the
next cycle and start making plans for what we want to achieve. We've
set up the usual page on the wiki to collect the plans:

https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointEleven/Features

And there is already some material there that has been carried over
from previous releases:

- Integrate Facebook photos in GNOME Photos

- Git integration in the developer experience

- GNOME Software

- Systemd for the user session

- Colour Tinting in GNOME Shell

- Videos application implementation

- Complete the GNOME Wayland port

- Integrate Zimbra in GNOME

It would be good if the owners of these features could re-evaluate
them and decide if they should really be on the list of things we want
to achieve for 3.12. If not, then just remove the page.

But maybe there are other things that people are working on, or want
to work on for 3.12 ? Now is the time to make your ideas known, and
turn them into concrete plans.
