Afaik, exactly what you said above. And we maintain the desktop-base package, which provide Debian branding and basic config for some desktop environments (mainly GNOME, KDE and Xfce). > > In any case a small request: could you put clearly in debian-desktop.org that > your KDE packages are unofficial and not necesarily upgrade compatible with > the archive ones?

You seem to provide 4.6.0 packages for Lenny (I guess rebuilt from the unstable ones), which is nice, especially until I cook them for backports.org, but I'm a bit puzzled too by the “official” stuff :) Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
