Upgrade to XFCE 4.2 now?
Hi, I guess XFCE 4.2 will not make it into Debian testing until Sarge goes stable? If that is the case, how long do you think it will /roughly/ take until this will happen? A rough approximation would be enough, so I can decide whether it is worth to take the additional trouble and install from an unofficial repo.

I took a look at their repository and it is an automatic repository. That means that they have their packages properly categorized by architecture, distribution, and so on. All you need to do is add the their repository to your sources.list and then pin the packages where you want them. -Roberto -- Roberto C.

Hi Matthias xfce4.2 is in experimental (not sid) and I believe the debian maintainer would like you to test it. He asked me when I posted something about using the oscillation packages; however, I'm running amd64 which doesn't have an experimental release. Using an alternative source and making sure you get the corresponding packages: I just put the sources in after the debian mirror lines and 'aptitude update' collected the latest packages.
