Re: I'm starting GNOME 2.10 backport to Debian Sarge. Who wanna help me?
I hope you're not a nationalist, so you'll probably read my answer :)
I think the users which use Debian as a (gnome) desktop OS may install gnome
from sid repository or even maybe from ubuntu, and non desktop users simply
don't need it.
I think it is too early to create backports for Sarge since it's not too
outdated as for example Woody.
Probably that is why backports don't include so much Sarge repositories.
But there was some folks on this mailing list who asked about GNOME 2.10 for
Sarge, so I think you'll find a lot of comrades. Personally I prefer KDE.
