I'm not sure how I missed this thread..

Regarding maintaining jhbuild  up to gtk+ - I would actually like to see this up to at gnome-shell.  We have a number of people who I have convinced to help volunteer to resolve bugs for GNOME 3.7, but are very frustrated with getting jhbuild to build for them.

We really should make it a goal to get an SDK for our volunteers to help fix issues.

We are considering doing a jhbuild hackfest once a month for volunteers to learn and understand how to build under jhbuild and grow enough builders to make it self sustaining.

But getting a certain set of modules always in buildable state is a great goal and I hope we can do this.

Right now in our Juju charm it's a manual list:

   http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jibel/charms/quantal/jhbuild/trunk/view/head:/files/jhbuild.config/gnome-core.sysdeps

I'm not quite sure why; Jean-Baptiste, did jhbuild sysdeps not work
well enough in principle?

In Quantal, there was missing dependencies, so I went the straightest way and installed them directly. Now that I have a better understanding how jhbuild works that's something I want to reconsider for Raring and avoid maintaining them in 2 different places.
