Okay- this is all good news but I am a little worried about the installation. I just got everything stable and hence am worried about using the unstable tree :( Is there something I should be worried about?

I just added the unstable tree to fink commander and I can see most of the new libs and packages related to gnome2 but there is no bundle-gnome2 or gome2-bundle.

So which packages should do I install to get the gnome2 desktop environment? Also should I remove gnome1.4 first?

Any advice help appreciated. I am new to fink (and relatively new to UNIX) and have been using FinkCommander to install binaries only because I didn't want to mess to much with my new X11 installation.

I am willing to give this a shot as I gnome2 on my BSD boxes (where I used ports) and I like it a lot.

Any help appreciated.

Hmm, another mystery. After the bad install of Gnome 2 (followed by
replacing /sw with a backup copy made just before), I'm not seeing what
I thought I saw before... wasn't there a Gnome 2 convenience bundle?
Not only that, but Fink reports all my packages are current.

I've got libgnome2, libgnomecanvas2, libgnomeui2, and yelp listed (as
unstable packages, not installed). There's also a Gnome2 Tetris client.
That's it.

All trees are activated- I did the index and selfupdate-cvs. The last
time I did that, followed by update-all, was the disaster. The reports
which suggest the new Gnome works well are pushing me toward trying to
reinstall.

Sorry for the confusion.

It's available from fink, if you activate the unstable tree:

This was asked before by Jay, but I never saw an answer.  Has there
been
a port of gnome2 - it is even mentioned on the gome 2 site that it
runs
on Apples Darwin.  Anyone know how to get it?
