While Intrepid could be a little outdated if we want the best in features, I suppose we can't stick GNOME external deps on a single distro :) There are some "build issues" with DeviceKit-disks, see bug #581515: "DeviceKit-disks is too low in the stack to be part of JHBuild and the user should really have it installed system-wide" This is really unfortunate and IMHO breaks the same idea of external dependence for GNOME :( If we can't simply and safely build it in JHBuild, how could we make GNOME 2.xx cross-distro buildable? (plus, there ii the linux-only issue too) I know this is temporary, that sooner or later distro will include needed stuff, but in next 6 months the only _stable_ distro "certified" to test all GNOME 2.27 features will be Fedora 11. Moreover, PolicyKit (version 0.9) is an approved external dependence for GNOME: in order to include it, g-d-u should not depend on trunk (i.e. non released version) stuff like BJörn reported. Please make a new PolicyKit stable release and ask to increase version before any other addition.
