Gnome and GTK breakage in -current

Translations: FR, ES
Yes, we know Gnome and GTK stuff is a bit broken in -current :) This is because we have upgraded to GTK 2.10, and also we are upgrading Gnome to the development version (see the mailing list archive for reasons why). So please bear with us while we do this. The result at the end of this should be a faster and nicer Gnome. I will post here once we have finished upgrading, at which point it will be good to start posting bug reports about problems that you find.

Improvements on the homepage

Translations: FR, ES
Amazingly, in the time since our homepage upgrade, we’ve only had 1 bug report to do with the packages section. So now we can work on adding a few improvements. I’ve just written a kind of robot that automatically posts all news posts from the site to the Frugalware-announce mailing list. It works thanks to darcs post-hooks, so that whenever we push a change to the homepage darcs repository, the post-hook is run to check for new news posts.
