Description Elijah Newren 2004-09-28 02:49:22 UTC 
I just downloaded the garnome-2.8.0.tar.bz2 tarball off
http://cipherfunk.org/garnome/ and noticed that it is using metacity-2.8.1, i.e.
the version of Metacity that shipped with Gnome 2.6.x.  The version that is
supposed to be used with Gnome 2.8.0 is metacity-2.8.5.

This may have been due to versioning confusion; Havoc wanted the Metacity
version number to finally match the Gnome version (it had been ahead in version
numbers), so he made a 2.8.1.x stable branch for gnome 2.6.x, made versions
2.8.2-2.8.4 be unstable, and now 2.8.5 is stable.
Comment 1 Paul Drain 2004-10-05 02:13:21 UTC 
Actually, this was because i'd had a few reports (one debian stable, one RHEL3
based) of 2.8.5 not building for some reason, but 2.8.1 w/the gar-base.diff was
fine for them.

Given we were at release time, I made the decision to leave it alone, pending
more information (which I still haven't received) post-2.8.0 time.
Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2004-10-05 03:03:06 UTC 
Really?  Is there any chance you could find the original reports and point me to
them?  I've been helping with Metacity development, and we'd really like to fix
any build problems that might be there.  I follow the metacity-qa alias and I
haven't seen any such reports, so I'm sure no such problem has been fixed--but
it should be before Gnome 2.8.1 comes out next week...
Comment 3 Elijah Newren 2004-10-27 14:51:32 UTC 
Garnome 2.8.1 is using the right version, so I'm just going to close this bug.
