Nope, for testing... Means that we won't get stuff like Nautilus 1.0.1 (which is part GNOME 1.4, and works on PPC) until more than 2 weeks. Nautilus 1.0 from unstable is broken on PPC. > See http://kt.zork.net/debian/dd20010328_28.html#5 > > IMHO, the Ximian .debs play an important role for some stable users (except > for > the upgrade headache because of their version numbers), and may have been > helpful for 1.2 releases a few months ago.

Sure... But there are people that want the stuff _now_. I wanted to test Nautilus and Evolution more for example before going to GUADEC. I offer them as a gift to the Debian/PPC users, and try to do my best to keep them up-to-date and working. If you don't like them, and don't mind waiting ages to get already obsolete packages, that's your problem. BTW, the packages are mostly based off Debian packages updated to the latest sources (uupdate is my friend). Cheers -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net
