Hi,

I think your packages are recent enough, but you must know that few 
things can be really tested currently (nothing has been released) :
- Camaelon (themes support)
- Installer
- UnitKit (unit testing framework, UnitKit 1.1 port for GNUstep with 
some extensions)
- UnitTests (utility to manage and monitor UnitKit test suites)

The error you encountered is related to the fact, UKKQueue is relying 
on kqueue support which is not available on Linux (only on some BSDs). 
This error is fixed in Étoilé cvs now.

The build process isn't documented currently, but you just have to do 
(in root directory or eventually in sub directories) :
make
make install (or sudo make install).

Just a last remark… it would be better to send such questions on Étoilé 
discuss list :
 <https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss/>
or via gmane <http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.etoile.general>

Quentin.
