I don't believe so, not at the moment at least. Most of the packages, if not all, are labeled with lenny right now in metad. Maybe in the future, once the gNewSense userbase and maintainer list grows out largely, gNewSense might start its own packaging system so it does not have to rely on Debian that much, but I don't see that happening anytime soon, although it would be nice. :) If you want a certain package to end up in gNewSense, you can either make sure it's accepted in Debian, but it would take a while for it to appear on gNewSense seeing it's based on the stable branch. I know you can adopt packages in gNewSense, so you might also be able to introduce any new packages. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
