Progress report (Colin Watson, 13 Jan 2004):

In order to get the new metapackages into testing, we need:

 * builds of {{{epiphany-browser}}} on m68k and sparc (m68k in incoming)
 * builds of {{{galeon}}} on arm, s390, and sparc; {{{galeon}}} may be re-uploaded to fix some [http://bugs.debian.org/225193 build problems]
 * build of {{{sound-juicer}}} on m68k
 * build of {{{libgda2}}} on m68k
 * build of {{{libgnomedb}}} on s390
 * fixes for [http://bugs.debian.org/libxslt1.1 upgrade bugs] in {{{libxslt}}}
 * builds of {{{planner}}} on hppa and s390

This is looking pretty good, and the {{{meta-gnome2}}} maintainer is willing to drop some of its dependencies once the last of the real essentials are ready. I'd estimate two weeks provided that {{{galeon}}} and {{{libxslt}}} are fixed soon.

Installing Gnome

UNDER SID:

The current metapackage for installing a good set of Gnome tools is gnome-desktop-environment. So, from the command line, run

-# aptitude install gnome-desktop-environment

You can also do

-# aptitude install gnome

but this will install additional software (gnome-office, evolution) that you may not want.

UNDER SARGE:

Gnome is currently broken. The gnome-core package is still the old 1.4 version, but the other components are the newer 2.4. Install at your own risk!

UNDER WOODY:

No metapackage exists. Again, run

-# aptitude install gnome-core gnome-panel gnome-control-center gnome-session gnome-sawfish
