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}}} is fixed soon. In order to get the meta-packages installable on all architectures, we need:

Only one of {{{epiphany-browser}}} and {{{galeon}}} is needed.  * mips version of epiphany-browser, rhythmbox and planner.

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

-# apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment

You can also do

-# apt-get 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!

Progress report (Colin Watson, 15 Jan 2004):

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

  • new libxslt in incoming (2 days of wait)
  • planner in incoming (4 days of wait)
  • abiword (and its deps) in incoming (waiting for libxslt)

In order to get the meta-packages installable on all architectures, we need:

  • mips version of epiphany-browser, rhythmbox and planner.
  • m68k version of planner.
  • sparc version of planner.

UNDER WOODY:

No metapackage exists. Again, run

-# apt-get install gnome-core gnome-panel gnome-control-center gnome-sawfish
