Well, as long as a release of etch with gnome 2.14 it sounds as a nice plan. Notice though that steve mentioned end of 2005 as the last date for world-breaking changes, like the c++ abi change. I am not sure if gnome falls into this category, but i guess it has similar wide ranging effects, so better consult with the release team on that :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
