GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 655283
Request to create a windows-devel-list@gnome.org mailing list
Last modified: 2011-09-08 09:44:47 UTC
Hello sysadmin team, I recently asked on gtk-devel-list [1] if there was interest in keeping the Windows binaries on ftp.gnome.org/www.gtk.org up to date (because I've been patching & building newer versions of select components of the GNOME platform compatible with those builds). Imagine my surprise when most of the responses got a bit off-topic and the thread turned into a discussion of the various build systems currently in existence, the lack of collaboration, duplication of effert, etc wrt the Windows port of the GNOME platform. During that discussion, I proposed the possible revival of the old gtk-win32-list, but this time putting more attention to the whole of GNOME's platform (after all, even porting GTK+ touches more modules than GTK+ alone). Even more surprised, people already involved with the Windows port for far longer than I have thought this might indeed be helpful [3], [4], [5] After reading the documentation [6], something like gnome-windows-devel-list@gnome.org seems to fit both the rules and the intended purpose perfectly. So, in short: would it be possible to create: - The list name: gnome-windows-devel-list - The e-mail address of the primary/initial list administrator: dieterv@optionexplicit.be or dieterv@src.gnome.org - If you are moving your list from an existing service: no Thanks, Dieter [1] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2011-July/msg00012.html [2] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2011-July/msg00041.html [3] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2011-July/msg00049.html [4] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2011-July/msg00050.html [5] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2011-July/msg00043.html [6] https://live.gnome.org/Sysadmin/MailingLists/NewListRequest
