One of the GNOME update branches (for 2.28?) has already been merged into staging. There are rumours of crashes, though, so this will require testing by more people. The other GNOME upgrade that I worked on months ago still awaits a rebase onto staging. I=E2=80=99ll try to get it into good shape to have the build farm build it out, so that more people can test it and provide fixes where needed. -- Ricardo
