> Well, bugs and package inclusion go hand in hand.

Unfortunately one hand is here, and the other is at GNOME, which doesn't mean
things are necessarily separate, bugzilla's can be used to co-ordinate this but
you must understand that it is USELESS filing bugs here.

> I am not sure if we want packages that have lots of bugs included in Fedora. 

Who said this would be the case?

> That's why I just made a note about them so that it won't be included before.

We know there will be bugs, instead of making "notes" here, file bug reports at
gnome and comment here that those bugs (including URL) are blockers on inclusion
in fedora.

> And how should I know that it is no packaging issue? 

Well, translation? Does that come from the .rpm package, or from the .tar.gz
package? Give yourself a moment to think about this one.

> The situation without real releases with g-m-m is bad,

I agree, the situation is poor unfortunately GNOME aren't willing to accept this
until it comes into alignment with GNOME libs, which from what I can see is what
is currently happening in SVN.

> I just had the thought to use the releases that are used in OpenSuSE stable
> versions instead of some SVN version. They seem to be more stable.

This cannot be done at present because the current OpenSUSE version does not
build on fedora AFAIK, we're using SVN because of this, and monitoring the
situation as needs be. There are also lots of differences between OpenSUSE and
Fedora which thankfully come down to spec files now, but may require patches to
be applied.
