Let's face it. Gnome sucks. I don't know if I can count how many gnome versions we have in slink/potato. And then we have libaries that depend on gnome, and if a program depends on these secondary libraries, then you have to try and diddle around just to get it to compile.
I propose that gnome be removed from slink, until the gnome developers get a clue. Maybe a distribution removing there pet project will be the clue bat they need. They seem not to care about the rest of the world. Adam Now, as to why I cc'd policy. There is a more serious issue at stake. All these gnome libs and dev pkgs are quite confusing. Users have a hard time deciding what they need. And gnome hasn't even released 1.0 yet. With gnome having major internal changes, on almost a daily basis, and then having those changes put in debs, leads to great confusion. No other library has so many versions. Gnome might be stable, and not have segfaults/crashes. But having it change so often is not good. Debian needs to pick 1(one, uno) version of gnome, and stick with it. Not these infinitely different versions. Adam again.
