How long do you want to wait ? It's more than 2 month from now that the 1.2 packages have been out .. I think it's quite enough to make a decision about uploading packages to Debian... However I'm willing to be patient if someone can explain me why I need to be patient. And i'm quite embarrassed with that situation since I can't compile any Gnome packages here since they would have a bad dependency on the helix packages ... > Why give anyone an excuse to get their dander up?

We're looking for shorter release cycle aren't we ? ;-) > (it's just rumor after all; last time Peter posted here he implied Rumor ?
