Gnome 3.34

[enx1998]

Hi hhfeuer, can I know if you plan do make an overlay for gnome-3.34, please?

Thanks ENx

[hhfeuer]

Sorry for the late answer. TBH, I'm unsure about 3.34. Up to 3.30, it was an easy decision because official Gentoo portage was stuck at 3.24 but while I was sitting at 3.32, Gentoo devs caught up massively, pushing out some 3.32 ebuilds. So I stopped working on 3.32 thinking it was unnecessary, then Gentoo stalled again. Since the most (IMHO) urgent (mutter) patches from 3.34 already are in my 3.32 overlay, I'm leaning to skipping the 3.34 release and rather do an early 3.36 overlay. But maybe I get bored at some time and push out 3.34 nevertheless.

First of all, thanks for the reply. I am interested on gnome 3.34 because of its perfomance improvements that I read on some sites; when you say that urgent patches from 3.34 are in your 3.32 overlay, you mean such performance improvements?

Thanks for your great work that give gentoo users the opportunity to have latest stable gnome release.

[hhfeuer]

Yes, exactly all the performance improvements are already included in my 3.32 release. So you won't get anything in that regard from 3.34. It's the four mutter patches I included.

[hhfeuer]

NB: if you're on unstable (~amd64), you're probably using the official Gentoo Gnome 3.32 which doesn't include those.

[enx1998]

No no, I am on stable gentoo (amd64), this is why I need and appreciate your work ;-)

[hhfeuer]

Actually, those long standing performance bugs were the original motivation for me to create the 3.26 overlay because you can't go meddle on the Gnome bugzilla and talk about 3.22 while they're at 3.26. Only with those overlays I could nag, check code and test patches.

Hi,

I'm currently working on a 3.34 port, but I think that i'm not able to back port it to the stable branch. But if youre interested, take a look.

@hhfeuer: I took portions of your repo, as well as heather's and gnome-next. Maybe you can support me a little bit with your knowledge of gnome and have a look. :)

cheers.

@jrevillard whoops... register should work now. Please open an issue over there, so that we're not spamming here in this repo... ;)

cheers.
