Hi Guix,
I just pushed the branch “wip-gnome3.30” to Savannah. It is based on
“wip-gnome-upgrades”, but upgrades our GNOME packages to version 3.30.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to figure out how to start a GNOME
session with this version. I’m pretty sure it’s just a matter of
setting the correct environment variables so that all the required
libraries and the DBus service files are found.
My ~/.xsession file ends on
gnome-session
sleep 60
to avoid an annoying endless session reload.
Note that the wayland backend is the new default. If you want a little
less mystery at first, try setting XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11.
I would very much appreciate any help you can provide in pushing this
upgrade into a usable shape! Let’s meet in #guix and hack on this!
