To add Enlightenment E17 in Debian 6.0, just add the Debian unstable repository to the bottom of your /etc/apt/sources.list. As shown in the example below.
|{~}-{Fri Mar 11 21:13:04} -{shoggoth@Lorien } $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20110205-18:15]/ squeeze contrib main deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib # deb http://packages.enlightenment.org/debian squeeze main extras deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main |
And then run sudo apt-get update. Then install Enlightenment by typing sudo apt-get install e17 and the desktop will be installed and is selectable from the GDM login screen. Very easy indeed and easier than installing from CVS.
