I wouldn't expect many changes from 2.5.2... Just bug fixes. But then again, Nautilus needs a lot of them.

Expect some ebuild from Lin_Matt soon.

Have a look at breakmygentoo.net for the latest gnome-ebuilds.

Not compiling for me:

>>> emerge (1 of 15) gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.5.3.1 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-)

gnome-panel-2.5.3.1.tar.bz2
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking gnome-panel-2.5.3.1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.5.3.1/work

UPDATE: I corrected the issue by installing gtk-doc. It is a dependency, but broken in the ebuild.

aye, done that to me too, can also change the ebuild to read as follows

/usr/local/portage/gnome-base/gnome-panel/gnome-panel-2.5.3.1.ebuild

DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
>=app-text/scrollkeeper-0.3.11
>=dev-util/pkgconfig-0.12.0
>=dev-util/intltool-0.29
>=sys-devel/automake-1.7.8
>=dev-util/gtk-doc-0.9"

Actually, you really shouldn't touch that file, and rather create a file named /etc/portage/package.unmask and add this line

Got mine running with the breakmygentoo ebuilds, installed fine, but it is a little rough around the edges.

I've just downloaded the gnome-2.5.3.tar.gz from breakmygentoo, but i've got problems with the gnome-2.5.3.ebuild.

I unpacked it and ran emerge and all I get is (I've currently got 2.5.2):

I tried that first, but it had the problem of trying to upgrade everything on the system:

I used the breakmygentoo ebuilds and gnome 2.5.3 is beautiful, what can I say.

I have one problem though. I can't get the clock applet to work, when it tries to start (or when I try to re-add it) I get this message:

Installed it last night. Evolution 1.5.3 is crashy

and the seems to be a problem with gnome-session (yeah I know, not much info. yet, I'm still debugging). Just a heads up. It's not really stable yet.

I am just building it (with the ebuild from bmg) but nautilus still bails out (on my desktop and on my laptop) with:

just to let you guys know joem and lin-matt have pulled a huge one reworking the dependencies completely there should be a revised tarball up within a short period of time. That should solve a lot of the problems we are seeing.

Basically work on the NEWDEPS branch sucked up all developer time, but it will be worth it.

Seems all that was needed is a good old reboot

Everything works perfect now.

I just installed this last night, it seems very nice. Thee are some bugs and broken features (wallpaper misbehaves, espicially WRT gDesklets). The new fileselector looks unfinished. I wouldn't recommend this version to anyone who wants things to "just work", but it's going to be great when it's done.

Evolution 1.5 is what evolution really wanted to be all along. It's an unbelievable improvement. They finally jettisoned the Outlook-clone UI and made evo fit in with the rest of Gnome.

Has anyone found a fix for some of the applets not working? It's really getting annoying.
