I'm glad to see these are packaged now, and will be happy to add tasks to tasksel. I don't have time to put the tasks together myself, but it should be easy to put something together using task-gnome-desktop as a starting place. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I'm not sure we want to support every desktop environment out there… but I guess tasks might not hurt, so punting that to tasksel. And adding debian-cd@ to the loop, to get some feelings about whether new images would sound like a vaguely sane idea (I'm really not sure). Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#712696: debian-installer: Add Cinnamon and Mate as alternative DEs.
We do not have packages of these, and probably never will. This is not a bug in the installer. The correct way to report that you want a new package is to report a bug against the pseudo-package 'wnpp'. There is already such a bug for MATE, #708385. Ben. This is not right. As of 2012-11-17 (http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/cinnamon/news/20121117T18Z.html), cinnamon has been admitted debian unstable and so it IS a debian package (http://packages.debian.org/sid/cinnamon). As of 2013-05-06, cinnamon migrated to testing, and it is now in jessie (http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/cinnamon/news/20130506T163905Z.html). So you should consider reopening this bug. Paolo
Bug#712696: debian-installer: Add Cinnamon and Mate as alternative DEs.
Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist While most think as Mate and Cinnamon only as forks of Gnome (2 and 3 respectively), both are now full DEs, with their own features. Thanks to Linux Mint people pushing them, they've gained a noticeable userbase. Cinnamon has many option lacking in Gnome Shell, and way more customization capabilites. Mate is loved by Gnome Panel nostalgics, and it's the perfect first DE for people coming from Windows. I think it would be a good idea to include them both alongside Gnome, KDE, Xfce and LXDE. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
