The GNOME 3.6.2 Megaupdate

[Kalev Lember]

Hi,

It's time for the last big GNOME update for F18 to bring bug fixes
and translation updates to users!

If anybody wants to add builds to the GNOME 3.6.2 update, now is the
time to do it. Like usual, please use the spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtzJKpbiGX1zdGJzeU9waFJFZmgy...

Thanks,
Kalev

The update is now in Bodhi, thanks to everyone who pitched in with builds.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-18258

It missed the Beta freeze by two days, however. And I would think it's
something worth including in the Beta release: it's the final planned
3.6.x release and as such, very close to the final package set. I think
it would make sense to include this in the Beta release, so that we can
shake out more issues during the Beta, and so that the changes between
Beta->Final wouldn't be so large. There won't be any more GNOME
megaupdates for F18.

This is the ticket I've filed to ask QA to consider including this in
the Beta release:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808378

Any help testing this and finding regressions is most welcome (and
feedback/karma in Bodhi is always welcome as well)!

(Sorry, messed up the bugzilla link in the original message.)

It would really help our confidence in taking a big dump like this as
NTH if people could test it out and file karma, indeed - so please do,
if you have some time. Thanks.

I wish it would be installable as a single update. If bodhi could 
compose the yum install command for copy paste at least, it might be 
helpful as well.

'yum update' actually, but you get the point ;)

bodhi -D FEDORA-2012-18258

will download all packages in that update for you.

Right. What I do is have a little side repo:

[root@adam live]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/side.repo 
[side]
name=Private side repo
baseurl=file:///home/adamw/local/repo/$basearch
enabled=1
metadata_expire=30
gpgcheck=0

So I can go to ~/local/repo/x86_64, do 'bodhi -D FEDORA-2012-18258',
'createrepo .', 'sudo yum update'. Pretty straightforward once you get
used to it, and it's handy to have stuff you're forcing in in an actual
repository. Note the metadata_expire line, which sets the repo's
metadata to expire in 30 seconds, so it's pretty much always fresh
(there's about zero time penalty for getting the metadata from a small
local disk side repo like this, so you may as well).

Note that if you want to pull something from koji that isn't yet in
bodhi, you can do 'koji download-build --arch=noarch --arch=x86_64
buildid' to get all the binary packages from the build at once. (change
to i686 if you're 32-bit, obviously).

Oh, and while we're on the 'neat bodhi tricks' subject, if you're
running x86_64 but you need to pull down the 32-bit builds of a Bodhi
update (for building a live image or something), 'linux32 bodhi -D' will
DTRT.

Assuming you already have GNOME installed, these commands:
yum install yum-security
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2012-18258 update
will update it to 3.6.2.

Usability is so poor that you might give up

"yum search bodhi"?

But the update has to have already associated advisory ID, which is not 
always the case (although it works for this case).

It's the case as soon as an update has been pushed to testing.

So complicated, when

# yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing accerciser anjuta at-spi2-atk 
at-spi2-core baobab brasero cheese control-center dconf devhelp empathy 
eog evolution evolution-data-server evolution-ews evolution-mapi

pygobject3 seahorse seahorse-sharing sushi tracker vala vinagre vino 
vte3 yelp

does the same thing. And this could be easily copy-pastable from bodhi 
if only it would be shown somewhere on the page. Going to fill a ticket.

It sounds complicated to describe, but it really isn't. You only set up
the repo once, after that it's three commands - bodhi -D, createrepo,
yum update. Hell, you could easily script the bodhi and createrepo steps
together if you cared enough.
