I will announce in ITT when it is ready for people to install. extras-devel is a testing ground. It is very useful for developers to have extras-devel enabled and to occasionally install updates in order to make sure things do not conflict, etc. However, I strongly recommend that anyone who runs with extras-devel enabled does NOT install random updates to packages just because they become available. Only install them if: 1) You know what the update is and want to test it out. For example, you have seen a GPE Beta announcement and decide to participate. 2) It has been around for a while and seems reasonably stable and you can afford the risk if it turns out to be broken. That means not "on a tight release schedule"! Also be aware that if you install something from extras-devel then, although the developer probably welcomes bug reports, you can't necessarily expect any support! That means you probably have to consider yourself a "power user" (as you are, Nick). Anyone who can't resist the temptation to install shiny new things that pop up in extras-devel should probably run with it disabled and only enable it when they need it :-) Graham _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
