The reason why we didn't answer yet is because we don't know ourselves.
There has been a rush of work to stabilize GNOME
2.10 and get it into
sarge, and we're now taking a break. I'm starting to work on GNOME 2.12
now, and I guess other members of the team will soon be doing the same,
so you can expect things to move, but we really can't give you a
timeline.
Did you really mean Sarge? Or perhaps "Testing" (Etch)?
I really don't see the point on getting Gnome 2.10 into Sarge
(officially). Since 2.8 is good enough and those who want something
else can always re-compile software themselves. (or use backported
packages by somebody else). I'm hoping that was just a thinko from your
part and work on getting Gnome 2.12 packages is on the way.
I would love to help you guys packaging gnome 2.12. But i have yet to
be able to successfully compile packages from svn and there is NO
complete documentation anywhere (please don't point to that pkg-gnome
/usr/share/doc/*/README stuff that doesn't really help. if you really
need help, more care should be put in documenting how pkg-gnome is used
from Alioth to build .deb's).
