Hi all.
Can I download precompiled gnome 2.18 packages for debian?
(something like apt-get install gnome-2.18, etc)
Thanks in advance.

Some 2.18 packages are already available in experimental if you don't
want to wait for them to be included in etch (we're still waiting for
2.16, aren't we?), and if you want to risk to see something broken in
your system.

Actually, 2.18 is being uploaded to unstable, you can follow progress
here[0]. As for backports, Norbert Tretkowski has a backport for
2.16[1], and I think he's planning to backport 2.18 also.

... still plenty of GNOME lovin' in Debian :)
