Gnome 2.2 packages entering testing

[Johannes Rohr <j.rohr@gmx.de>]

Hello everyone,

now that fam has finally made it into testing and atk1.0 will probably
make it tonight, a number of Gnome 1.4 packages will be replaced by
their 2.2 successors. But some important packages, notably
gnome-session and nautilus, still have RC bugs or are out of date (the
latter is the case with gnome-session).

So it looks like the transition to Gnome 2.2 in testing will be as
chaotic and piecemal as has been the transition in sid.

I wonder if the Debian Gnome people would like to do something to
ensure a relatively smooth transition, i.e. try to close RC or FTBS
bugs that still keep core components of Gnome 2.2 out of testing.

As a first step someone should probably identify all the RC bugs that
are blocking core components. Besides Christian's Gnome summary we
should probably have a "Gnome RC bug summary" or "Gnome in testing
summary" or so.

Any comments/suggestions?

Thanks,

Johannes
