Package: happydigger Severity: wishlist As far as I can see, happydigger is maintained in Debian by its upstream author.
In such case, there is no strong enforcement to either request to package the software as a native or non native Debian package. So, only common sense should apply here. I guess that the software is perefctly suited for other environments, so in first approach, I would probably recommend to package it as a non native package (that is, uploaded along with an .orig.tar.gz file). What have bringed me to this is localization. I am currently tracking down the native Debian packages for which no translation effort has been done in my language. The goal is of course prioritizing them because a translation internal to Debian is the only way to get translations for these programs. So, I try to encourage keeping only programs which are really Debian-specific as native packages..... I am of course opened to any counter-arguments and indeed I have no strong request for this...I'd just like to have the maintainer (and upstream author) opinion. If not planning to fix this, I suggest keepign the bug opened and tag it "wontfix"...which would be perfectly OK for me..:) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) Versions of packages happydigger depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.2-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.0-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsqlite0 2.8.16-1 SQLite shared library -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
