GNOME 3.0.0 packages are now available in the [testing] repository. These bring
with it an update to gtk2, as well as the new gtk3.

This is a major update and you should take note of a couple of things:

  * GNOME3 will replace GNOME2 once it gets moved to [extra].

  * GNOME3 has two modes, "standard" mode (gnome-shell) and "fallback" mode
(gnome-panel + metacity).

  * Panel applets using Bonobo aren't supported anymore and packages depending
on it will be dropped.

  * pulseaudio is now required to run the GNOME desktop.

  * Some packages exist in separate versions for gtk2 and gtk3. These typically
have a name like "packagename3". Examples are vte3, libwebkit3, gtkhtml4.

  * pygobject is now available for Python 3 in the package "py3gobject".

Have fun testing these packages!
