According to this article, GNOME Shell is quickly making progress -- on one of the core GNOME developers' computers. It is definitely a good thing.

Here is the problem: Where, just where, are these changes in the GNOME Shell Git repositories? Nowhere, which is definitely a serious issue. Here's why:

If the changes are uploaded, it will give the GNOME community more time to collect information about bugs and fix them for him, instead of Florian having to fix the bugs himself and upload the changes at the last minute, which may be a good thing, but any showstoppers that Florian doesn't catch will ultimately cause outrage throughout the GNOME community. Outrage is one thing we *DON'T* want. It will cause GNOME's market share to decline.

What we want is for a greater volume of people to catch bugs faster and fix them faster, ultimately causing GNOME 3 (and GNOME Shell) to be a much better desktop environment to use. But we can't have that with all the inside development not getting pushed to the Git repos.

It is in a separate branch:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/log/?h=overview-relayout

Also this isn't really a bug, would be better suited to post such things to the mailing list.

And how do I edit the .jhbuildrc so that JHBuild uses that branch?
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2010-10-23 16:14:13 UTC
This is a not a bug, please don't reopen.

Read the manual[0]. How is this a GNOME Shell bug? This is _not_ what bugzilla is about.
