Question about Gnome packages
I am using Gnome. I use the whole thing, gdm, the desktop, the panel,
everything. I would like to be able to upgrade everything as new
versions come out.
If I use the command
# dpkg -l '*gnome*'
I get a big list of Gnome packages. But it's redundant: lots of the
packages depend on other packages, so this is not a good way to get a
minimal list of packages to upgrade.
Where can I find a minimal list of Gnome packages, which if upgraded
will ensure that I have the latest of everything?
Also, a dumb newbie question. It seems to me that it would be very
convenient if there were a single package that I could install, which
would have everything depending on it. So in one fell swoop I could
upgrade everything. Is there any such package, or is such a package
considered a bad idea? Or is it difficult for some reason to do this?
Thanks.
