= Plan for 4.2 =

There are currently verified Debian packages which are mostly correct of 4.2 RC1 (aka 4.1.99.1)
on http://people.debian.org/~madkiss/4.1.99.1/ and http://the.earth.li/~huggie/xfce4/

Use at your own risk.

The plan as I see it is to upload these to experimental and point people at them. Then we can
put them in unstable after sarge releases. It's ''possible'' we'll release sarge with 4.2 but
very unlikely unless sarge doesn't freeze until January ish I guess given current upstream
release plans.

xfce4-goodies are a mess and need sorting out. See the [http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-xfce/ pkg-xfce project on alioth] for work on those.

Because buildds are broken and don't check versioned build-depends and do dep-wait stuff automagically the plan to get this into unstable is to upload in 5 stages (yes, 5 *sigh*) with the stuff in bold with urgency=high.

3. Build Order
