I just checked the cairo 1.0 dependees, looks quite good so far. The
one
broken spell is waimea cvs version, that option should probably be
disabled until waimea development picks up again.
mozillas cairo svg engine needs testing with cairo 1.0, would be nice
if
someone with a faster box than mine could try if that works and report
back. If it doesn't work we'll have to disable the option until they
updated their code.
Everything else works fine with cairo 1.0, but note that you should
also
integrate libsvg, libsvg-cairo and xsvg to test when you pull cairo to
test.
Does anyone know of any problems with the new hal and test grimoire?

I believe current pmount spell will be break (0.8) but the last version (0.9+) will be fine with hal 0.5. :-) I will update it as soon at it is in test.

About that, totem should be updated too, I don't know if you planned it Arwed ? I also updated Rhythmbox to 0.9 in devel, you can then integrate it in test as soon as totem 1.2.0 update is done (totem is now required for rhythmbox)

Gnome-volume-manager in 2.10 used to not work well (no automount, digital camera detection doesn't work), I don't know if you worked on the new one, Robin ? I already look at it with 1.2.2 in august (enabled some options in hal, dbus, etc...), I got automount working using fstab-sync, but I failed on digital cameras. Since there are major changes in the new version, I prefered to wait this release. Pmount can be used instead as fstab-sync afaik. Anyway, this should not delay the gnome 2.12 update if you didn't get it but know that I can take care of that this week-end if you don't have the time to work on that.

In the same time, I noticed that we can launch gnome via dbus-launch. I did that to try rhythmbox with dbus support and I also suspect this is needed to get gvm working. Here is the patch :

Don't you think it should be good to add it ? Of course that will launch all WM sessions, not only gnome, with dbus-launch, so do you know if that might hurt with some WM ?

Anyway, please release Gnome 2.12 soon, I can't wait any longer !!! ;-)
