Is there any way to get the latest released gnome packages (currently, gnom3 3.6.1) in ubuntu. I am talking about the complete gnome stack, not just gnome shell etc. The gnome remix has only a small set of applications in the latest version. Nautilus, GCC, totem, etc. are old version. Gnome 3 team ppa do not have Gnome Control Center, ibus etc.
The ricotz ppa is a testing repo and contain the latest development git branch, not the released versions. Jeremy bitchas ppa contain the ibus, but is also seem to be testing version, and control center is not working in his ppa.
There should certainly be a middle ground between 3.4.2 repo versions and the latest weekly updated testing repos. Getting the released versions of all the packages is very basic, minimum, first step in having a better integration between gnome and ubuntu but is ignored even by ubuntu gnome developers.
Can anyone help on setting up a ppa for released versions? I do not have any knowhow but if someone can help we will at least try something.
