At the same time, I would suggest that Gnome 2 packages do not propogate to Sarge, but instead we should hold them in unstable. This way people who insist on a clean Gnome 1.4 can use testing or stable while Gnome 2 packages are finalized. Then when the entire Gnome 2 set of packages is ready and in unstable, we can allow them to transition to testing.
This would only work if there is an easy way to hold the Gnome 2 packages in unstable, which I understand can be done by filing RC bugs against the packages, although that is an ugly solution. Is this a reasonable solution to the questions of managing a transition? Another question is, is it too late for this, has Sarge already pulled Gnome 2 packages from unstable? -- Stephen Depooter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
