Switching to Gentoo…
…no, just kidding! But I almost feel like it, after spending the last few days backporting gtk+2.0 (and the relative dependencies) from sid to etch, in order to build the newest xchat… and now I could tackle gimp… :D (ok, maybe I should just switch my laptop to lenny or sid… but for now running etch plus a few backports has worked fine… we’ll just have to see how many is “a few”).
BTW should I upload all this to bpo (now or when the packages hit lenny)? On one side it might be nice… On the other, it’s definitely *a lot* of packages and dependencies… Maybe it’s slightly out of their scope…
