Thank you for asking for volunteers to roll 2.2.x releases. That's seems
like a good move. I wish I had the extra time to set up my system to do that
for you.
But the lack of GTK+ 2.3.x release has caused gtkmm to miss yet another
Platform Bindings release schedule date. There has never been a GTK+ 2.3.x
release that is usable with gtkmm, though the GTK+ in cvs has been usable
with gtkmm for over a month. So I fear that not enough people are testing
new gtkmm API, although we are late in the schedule, with Platform Bindings
API freeze 1 month away:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/bindings/
I will repeat my earlier dire warnings from a release-team email:
One thing that the GTK+ people can certainly do to help is to release
regular tarballs (ideally one for each GNOME 2.5 release), so that we have a
good chance of getting it tested. It disturbs me greatly that you seem to be
waiting for stuff to get into GTK+ before doing tarballs - please just push
it out into the world regularly. If we can't be sure when a GTK+ tarball
will appear then I fear a great deal more delayed GNOME 2.5 test releases.
