I've had a quick look in your svn repo.. Now my sample rate wasn't too big.
It seems that most things just are the normal debian version from either
testing/unstable/experimental, with a changelog entry to build for parsix.
Which i guess i relatively automatic :)
Some packages are updated to newer version then we currently have in
pkg-gnome's svn (gnome-panel for example). Which should hopefully be fixed
quite soon now the 2.18 transition is nicely coming along (Your help here is
ofcourse always appreciated :).. Do you also plan to track development gnome
releases or just stable releases ?
Then there are some things that have parsix specific patches. Mostly branding i
guess (theme and default settings etc)? Are there other types of patches you
do on top of debian's gnome ?
Anyway, welcome to the team!! Hopefully we can (with your help) keep the
difference between parsix's gnome and debian's gnome to a minimal :)
