I've had a quick look in your svn repo.. Now my sample rate wasn't too big. It seems that most things just are the normal debian version from either testing/unstable/experimental, with a changelog entry to build for parsix. Which i guess i relatively automatic :) Some packages are updated to newer version then we currently have in pkg-gnome's svn (gnome-panel for example). Which should hopefully be fixed quite soon now the 2.18 transition is nicely coming along (Your help here is ofcourse always appreciated :).. Do you also plan to track development gnome releases or just stable releases ? Then there are some things that have parsix specific patches. Mostly branding i guess (theme and default settings etc)? Are there other types of patches you do on top of debian's gnome ? Anyway, welcome to the team!! Hopefully we can (with your help) keep the difference between parsix's gnome and debian's gnome to a minimal :) Sjoerd -- Getting there is only half as far as getting there and back. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
