1. it drag too much gnome package
2. cinnamon-control-center not installed
3. cinnamon-screensaver is installed along with gnome-screensaver. we only need one of them.
as far as I know these package are not needed by cinnamon 2.0 anymore and should not got installed when we try to install cinnamon

Code: Select all

        2014.01.13
        The following packages are no longer needed in the Cinnamon edition:

        gnome-session-common gnome-utils-common gnome-colors-common gnome-control-center nautilus gnome-screensaver gnome-sushi gnome-session-fallback gnome-session-bin gnome-session-flashback gnome-session-fallback gnome-themes gnome-user-guide gnome-control-center-data gnome-wise-icon-theme

however, any attempt to remove these unneeded package after cinnamon got installed will make cinnamon stop functioning.

[clem]

For Cinnamon it's a known Cinnamon issue which we'll be tackling cross distro. For now the best way is to install mint-meta-debian-cinnamon with the --no-install-recommends option.

[kurotsugi]

great

OK, things look good and I think we're ready to push the UP to latest. Fred is working on the ISOs at the same time and confirming my impressions.

I noted your summaries killer/Monsta and I'd be happy to comment on things individually when we have more time but I don't see any breaker right now.

I'd like to thank everyone for their help on this UP.

One last thing, we've a few hardcore LMDE users present in #linuxmint-dev to lobby us about fixing things here and there during the release cycle. I'd love to see LMDE represented a bit more there, especially by people like Monsta or Killer de bug who are active here on the forums. This would ease both the dev. and the communication on things we're not planning to fix.

We'll also be looking for testers with the upcoming ISOs so don't hesitate to join us there or to get involved.

Thanks everybody.
