Hi all,
I would like to install Cinnamon 2 on Debian testing. Apart compiling the code from GIT, is there any alternative to get it working?
Alternatevely, is there a way to install Cinnamon 1.8 on Debian testing as well? I tried by adding this repo
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main import
but it has problem with dependencies.
Thanks for your support.

Re: Cinnamon 2 on Debian testing (jessie)
Cinnamon 1.8 is not suppose to work perfectly fine with Jessie. Mainly because of gjs. It will break Gnome-Shell for sure.
So you need to try Cinnamon 2.0. It's easy to compile it. The how-to is here: http://segfault.linuxmint.com/2013/10/how-to-build-and-install-the-latest-cinnamon-from-git/
Cinnamon 2.0 is no more a back-end of Gnome. It uses some of Gnome libraries of course but it's independent of Gnome. It's working pretty well on Testing
Compiling everything should take you 30-40 minutes.
