Okay, I'm gonna go for it. Amanda's working Saturday, so I'm gonna do the GNOME 2.7 mambo. My plan is to have 2.7.2 built by the end of Saturday, and then upload on Sunday (or 2.7.3 if it's ready by then). I have a wedding to go to Saturday afternoon, but hopefully I can happily leave something building while I go. So this is it, usr local bin goes truely bleeding-edge. Why? Well, it helps SuSE people jump in with GNOME development by using what's going to become the next STABLE release (2.8 as it will be), secondly, it means I can upgrade Galeon, and thirdly, there's a lot of cool stuff that I want to start building and providing. (Things like Dashboard/Beagle, Project Utopia, etc...) and I just wouldn't feel right doing that without having first opened up this area of GNOME coolness to the SuSE community.

Of course, it might not quite happen, time might be too tight, or something else might come up, but that's the plan anyway. This way SuSE users will have a real choice of GNOME versions. 2.4 as shipped with 9.1, 2.6 (with the issues I've discussed before), from ftp.suse.com, or 2.7/2.8 from me, and isn't that what Free Software's meant to be about?

Remember, if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room
