Thanks for uploading, but I think you missed the setup.hint for gnome-common, could you check and upload again if necessary?
A directory which has no files (setup.hint nor packages) is ignored by upset.

The problem is that some stuff is backend (ORBit2, libbonobo, GConf, VFS), some is frontend (GTK, libglade, libgnomecanvas, etc.), some are desktop-related (metacity, nautilus, gnome-session), etc. What we have already is very spread out, and some things can't be well categorized right now. I still think we need a GNOME category.

I built sqlite-2.8.x for use in my libgda, so if you need someone for sqlite2 that would be pretty easy for me. Can both be installed in parallel?

Before you upload, let me go through the packages and see what's needed. ~ I've already run tests on GConf and gnome-vfs by building their perl modules, and it looks like something's missing; I'm building GConf from your source now to figure it out, and while I'm at it I'll fix a few things so that it'll be ready to post.
BTW, I think those packages whose libs are versioned 2 or 2.0 should also be numbered with a '2' (i.e. libbonobo(ui)2, GConf2, gnome-vfs2, libgnome(ui)2). Notice I've done this with libglade and libgnomecanvas, but not libwnck (which is libwnck-1), and I believe there's precedent in the linux distros for this.
| Also to investigate, which packages need postinstall scripts, I know a few, | but for sure there are more.
I'll start checking this out.
| I'll try that. The nautilus problem is known, just no idea yet what to do | about the XKB errors.
Haven't yet got that far.
| I just step through the list provided at the GNOME website, I've arrived | at bug-buddy, so it is time to put some stuff up, now as the users may | submit bugs to the tracker;)
Let's make sure that any bugs are in GNOME and not in what we've done first.
| Just finished evolution-data-server, finally. Lets see if it works.
Good luck.
