@Banshee is finally on twitter, where we'll always keep you up to date and sometimes entertained if you follow us.

We also just released Banshee 2.0.1, a stable, bug-fix-only follow on to 2.0.0!

We've got 2.1.x releases scheduled leading up to 2.2 in September. We'll be porting to Gtk# 3 and dropping a bunch of legacy deps in the process, while still supporting users on older distros. I e-mailed banshee-list more about what that means and how we'll do it.

Hello out there,

I am very pleased to announce the new issue (172) of openSUSE Weekly
News in Greek.

At this point I want to thank all the people for the quality of their work on the translations they send. Also, I would like to congratulate the «usual suspects» of the translating work not only for the quality of their translations but also for the improvement of their work that I have personally observed. Geeckossss, keep up the good work! Finally, I want to welcome the new volunteers to our team for their interest and offcourse for their priceless help.

In this issue you will read about:

* Greg Kroah-Hartman: openSUSE Tumbleweed status for the week of April 22, 2011
* MakeUseOf/Justin Pot: Super Mario Brothers X: The Best Fan-Made Mario Game Ever
* DarkDuck: How To: Page Numbering in Open Source Text Processors
* HowtoForge/Falko Timme: Virtualization With KVM On An OpenSUSE 11.4 Server
* How to upgrade to openSUSE 11.4 Tumbleweed

• GNOME 3.0.1 is now available for openSUSE 11.4, in GNOME:STABLE:3.0 repository. See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0 on how to use this repository.
• Live image has been regenerated to use GNOME 3.0.1. It is available at http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ (version 1.2.0)

I packaged subversion to built against libserf in addition to neon. This adds a second repository access module to handle http and https schemes with potential improvements. To enable, install the packages from my home repository See updated package location.

To enable, adjust your ~/.subversion/servers file:


[global]
http-library = serf


Beyond this, the package tracks the package from devel:tools:scm:svn.

Flat things are good. I'm at Tokamak 5 in Nijmegen, the KDE sprint where we plough a deep furrow into the future of the Free Desktop and sow KDE seeds that will grow into exciting, novel interfaces and make the stuff we already have even faster and more reliable.

So what about the flat things I mentioned? We've just guzzled our way through a stack of pancakes of geological proportions, produced for us by pancake-flipper and KDE allrounder par excellence Adriaan de Groot. Other good flat things are tablets (I won't call them 'tablet computers' in case I sound old fashioned), which are in evidence here in a variety of makes and models. We're working on several things that will make KDE on tablets as easy and fun to consume as Adriaan's pancakes.

I'm here for a few days to make KConfigXT, KDE's proven automatic configuration persistence layer, work with user interfaces programmed in Qt Quick, and to support the Plasma Active work going on in the openSUSE Build Service with my geeko skills.

I'm part of this year's openSUSE Conference program committee, in order to bring in some of my experience with organizing the awesome FOSDEM conference ;)

So we had our first program committee meeting today, and the summary is available on the wiki, on the forums and the opensuse-project mailing-list.

• how to install GNOME 3 using 1-click install from your favorite Web browser,
• how to switch from my previous repository (home:fcrozat:gnome3, which will be soon phased out) to the new repository. This is important to continue receiving updates, for instance, if you installed live image on your system.
