Hi,
I've had a bit of a chat to some of the Nautilus developers about this and
they don't feel its ready to be packaged. Bugs are being fixed on an hour
by hour basis, so there wouldn't be that much use packaging CVS snapshots.
What /would/ be really useful is a debian/ directory in GNOME CVS for
Nautilus and all the things it depends on (gnome-vfs, oaf, bonobo, etc)
so that Nautilus developers like me who use Debian can trivially build
packages of the latest things I need to develop and test Nautilus. This
would have the added advantage that by the time a tarball is released we
will have a well tested packaging.
