Since the maintainer of the core Debian Gnome packages does not seem to have any intentions of uploading any Gnome 2.4 components into unstable or into experimental in the near future, and has not publicly accepted any of the offers made here to do NMUs into unstable, I think that doing what Evan proposes, to setup an unofficial repository somewhere, is a good option (and maybe the only one that we have at this time.) What if those that have proposed to do NMUs just upload to an unofficial repository? To address the issue of porting to other architectures those with access to architectures other than i386 could build and upload packages to the unofficial repository. I can build packages for the Sparc, and I know some can build packages for PowerPC. A repository at people.debian.org/~someuser/gnome2.4 might be a good starting point. Cheers, Eloy.-
