Update Gnome in Debian sid


Hi all,

I have Gnome 2.10 which is 6 months old on my machine and would like to upgrade it to 2.12.
Is there any easy way of doing that on Debian besides compiling from source?

Thanks,

Add a line for experimental to your sources.list then apt-get -s install -t experimental gnome gnome-desktop-environment gnome-core ..... just keep adding packages complained about until it will install without complaint remove the -s then to actually install. You may need to use package/unstable in the line for the ones that are not available in experimental I think the line below is correct.

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
