Re: GNOME question



This sounds very much like the need for package pools. As a user of debian
I have never been satisfied with the up-to-date versions of stable
programs and have usualy run frozen. But the lag time between unstable and
forzen. 

I wish debian could do something to get newer versions of programs to the
end user in a timely manner.
