I don't know it is acceptable for you or not but, personally, I prefer lynx-cur because there are two branches of lynx in the upstream and the development version is called lynx-cur by the upstream. The name lynx-cur explicitly expresses that it is the developement version instead of stable version. > By uploading a lynx binary package which was a transition, you *did* > effectively hijack the lynx package, whether you meant to or not.

Don, I don't know how you read this thread carefully or not and it is rather difficult for me to explain full story in short but, at least, I accept Andreas' NMU with pleasure. Further, it is an examination period in Univ. of Japan and untill the middle of August, I'll have almost no time to maintain the package. > This is the sort of change that should not be made in an NMU without > the explicit blessing of the maintainer of both packages concerned > unless you plan on hijacking, adopting, or being seriously involved in > the maintenance of both. I think Andreas is seriously involved in the the maintenance of both, much more seriously than the present maintainers. (sorry on my part, but as I explained above.) > At the same time that such an upload is made, a request for removal of > the lynx-cur or lynx package should also have been made, coupled with > the triaging and possible reassignment of lynx-cur or lynx bugs to the > new set of binary packages. But I think the situation looks too ambiguous yet.
