meta-gnome2 (37) unstable; urgency=low

 * This version of meta-gnome2 introduces a few new meta packages which
   should make the dependencies a bit more flexible and should be better
   for those not wanting to install lots of the dependencies that were
   pulled in by gnome-core in the past.
   
   The new meta-packages are the following:
   - gnome-core: provides the very basic components to get a working GNOME
     environment installed.
   - gnome-desktop-environment: provides all the modules included in the
     official GNOME Desktop release.
   - gnome-fifth-toe: provides the modules included in GNOME Fifth Toe,
     a collection of programs that aren't included in the Desktop release for
     some reason, but are high quality, adhere to GNOME standards and are
     very popular. Not all the applications included in the last Fifth Toe
     release are listed in the dependencies. If you find something very useful
     is missing (from gnome-fifth-toe or some other metapackage), please
     discuss it in debian-gtk-gnome@lists.debian.org.
   - gnome-office: includes most of the applications included in the GNOME
     Office suite.
   - gnome-core-devel: libraries and basic GNOME development modules. Hasn't
     changed much.
   - gnome-devel: development tools such as IDEs, User Interface designers,
     translation tools, etc.
   - gnome: includes gnome-core + gnome-desktop-environment + a few other
     random, useful modules like rhythmbox, etc.

   If you want to keep getting the full GNOME Desktop release installed
   automatically in Debian, be sure to install the new
   gnome-desktop-environment package, and similarly for the other package
   groups.
