Le samedi 11 juin 2011 à 23:04 -0500, Michael Fogg a écrit : will debian in future releases use gnome 2.32 becuse gnome 3s fallback mode just is not gnome 2.32. Indeed. GNOME 3 in fallback mode is much better than 2.32, and a lot of long-standing bugs have been fixed. Apart from the compatibility issues with some applets (and really, it’s less than an hour of work to port a C applet if there’s still someone interested in it) I only see improvement. i know it takes a lot to maintain gnome 2 but will you please keep it in the system. The complexity of doing so would be huge because GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 are not designed to be parallel installable. It would require parallel installation of things as low-level as GLib, for example. Feel free to start a packaging sub-project to do so, but be aware that the task is enormous, you won’t have any support from upstream and you will meet hostility from core Debian teams because of the code duplication you would introduce. maybye what you can do is make two gnome distros one for gnome 3 and gnome 2 that looks good to me and hopefully to you. That will not happen. There is only one Debian distribution. Cheers, -- .''`.

Unfortunately Gnome 2 is unmaintained and completely discontinued upstream, and for the Debian Gnome maintainers to maintain the packages and the code base it self would be a huge undertaking. Otherwise it's probably best to just stick with Squeeze and install backports. By the time the next stable Debian release hits the Gnome 3 fallback mode should be a lot better. -Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Find a team of like-minded individuals, come up with a solution that respects gnome3 as the default, convince some DDs to sponsor your work, and just do it.
