If you need this update for certain features/improvement, we can go. But

otherwise I think we should do updates for GNOME tools all together...

Hi Jonathan,

Oh, ok, than I close this.

I don't think this is good idea, because it would become a huge amount

of work and coordination to do it for _all_ gnome apps, libs, etc....

This means, no one likes to do it and also it would take a lot of time

which means, it becomes outdated "while on the road".

And, it takes all the "dynamics" (and fun) out of the development,

because no one would touch any gnome package.

Also, I don't think it's even clear what belongs to "GNOME" exactly:

There was a time where gimp for example was the beginning of gtk and

therefore "GNOME". But now, it's not part of it and ok to update?!

Technicaly, I don't see why we should do it that way for leaf packages.

If they work with our current gnome version, what's the problem and what

is the rational behind this?

It might be another story for things like glib or gtk which are deeper

in the tree, but even there I don't think it's a good idea to "cluster"

them _all_ together (for no good reason), because it slows down everything.

Don’t. IIRC we have updated some Gnome applications independently of

Gnome before.

You only need to make sure that the application works correctly and

doesn’t have any hidden dependency on Gnome infrastructure that our

older packages don’t provide.
