=3E =3E =3E I=27m trying to package it=2C but without success as of now=2E=

=3E =3E =3E What are your plans on GTK+-2=2E6=2Ex=3F
=3E =3E =3E Are you going to upload it to experimental as soon as possibl=
e=3F
=3E =3E =3E Or is it going to unstable directly=3F
=3E =3E =

=3E =3E Please stop reporting such bugs=2E We know when tarball are relea=

=3E =3E need to give extra work with the BTS it=27ll only make the packag=

=3E Sebastien=2C please=2E=2E=2E we may be excited so much because curren=
t GTK
=3E sucks=2E For my part=2C it=27s the performance=2E For example=2C look=
 at how
=3E Rhythmbox behaves with more than 1000 entries=2E It is a pain=2C look=
s like
=3E O(n=B2) crap (or worse)=2E

=3E =3E BTW We are focused on sarge and GNOME 2=2E8 for the moment=2C no =
2=2E10=2E The
=3E =3E packages are in deb files in ubuntu hoary if you want them now=2E=
 They
=3E =3E will probably be uploaded in debian experimental in some time=2E
=3E =

=3E =2E=2E=2E how soon=3F I am willing to test them=2C the OP may be too=2E=
 But pulling
=3E Ubuntu packages means uncalculatable risks=2E

I=27m trying the gtk+-2=2E6=2E0 (and dependencies) ubuntu packages and th=
ey
work great! I have no regressions and it seems to be faster=2E

I think it=27s time to move them to experimental=2E
I really like the new features and it=27s time for people to test them=2E=
