hi, i guess you could install the snapshot-debs from soulmachine.net
they are always pretty recent and somewhat guaranteed to build

however you would have to recompile tham as they are compiled for debian
unstable:

sudo apt-get -b source eet is what you would start with...

my /etc/apt/sources.list line for soulmachine is: 

deb http://soulmachine.net/debian unstable/
deb-src http://soulmachine.net/debian unstable/

also, make sure to copy the following into your /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: enlightenment
Pin: version 0.16.999*
Pin-Priority: 999

Package: enlightenment-data
Pin: version 0.16.999*
Pin-Priority: 999

then you can apt-get -b source all the packages in the correct order and
end up with a relatively stable e17 :-)

cheers, Martin
