Hello all, As you may have already noticed, I uploaded a new version of cdebconf last Friday that is compiled against the GTK+ version 2.8 libraries with the backported directfb patch. I also uploaded a new version of rootskel-gtk with a few changes required for the 2.8 libs. This means that the daily builds now no longer use any unofficial libraries! Initial tests have revealed that we still have some issues to solve before Etch is released though: - blue lines appear when mouse is moved over select dialogs [1] - current line not displayed in multi-select dialogs [2] - keyboard is not localized (#381979) - crash when switching to VT2 on AMD64 (#373253) Some less important items, but still very nice to have: - better support on powerpc - I'm still very unhappy with the fact that <enter> no longer activates the <Continue> button in some cases - graphical shell (#339855) - support theming (#339735) I have already discussed these issues with Davide and he probably knows their status better than I do. I hope that the fact that we now have current libs in official builds will make testing and debugging these issues easier and that people who have so far contributed to the graphical installer are willing to make this last effort.
