Last time I tried something from experimental I borked my system.
Any idea when it will make it to sid? Or
Why isn't all of Gnome 2.22 in sid yet? I'm most interested in the panel
and the applets which are still at 2.20.3.
2.22 is in experimental but has not yet gone into sid? What's holding it
up? What needs to be done to get it into sid and is there anything I can
do to help it along?
