Since I was told by a few on this list that unstable is really unstable,
and all I am really interested in is running the new gnome, I decided to
run testing and build from there, so I have not even looked at the
unstable packages, >
I would really recomment against doing that. Either be patient and wait until
G2.12 enters testing or upgrade to unstable with experimental gnome packages..
Another option would be to pin apt on testing and get the needed packages from
unstable and experimental, but that's probably more trouble then it's worth.
but I have read that gnome 2.12 has not been built in
powerpc, and builds were welcomed, so I am asking if someone knows this
not to be true.
Powerpc should be quite well up-to-date, but there can sometimes be a delay of
some days as the packages need to be built manually.

I have been building gnome 2.12 for a few days now, sometimes building
the things that are required for the dependencies, and sometimes just
taking the appropriate debs from the same spot, this question is for
Sjoerd, but I would like others opinions too, why would building this be
a bad thing?
