Package: prc-tools Version: 2.2.90.cvs20030306-6 Severity: normal I bet the README.Debian should be moved from prc-tools to prc-tools-m68k and arm . Else as the dummy package is told to be removable without penalty we end up with only the README in these packages doc (and this one is bloated by the how to install from source data ... maybe upstream could be persuade to move those to INSTALL)
And ... could the info about the need to grab the sdk from palm (and signing a mixed NDA/Developper agreement, the url, where to copy the sdks to let palmdev-prep find it automatically ...) be duplicated to README.Debian ? It i part of the debian requirement to use prc-tools ! For example the installation end up with : "Setting up prc-tools-utils (2.2.90.cvs20030306-6) ... /usr/bin/palmdev-prep: no Palm OS development material detected Either make SDKs and other material available at /usr/local/share/palmdev and rerun palmdev-prep, or specify a directory in which they can be found when you rerun palmdev-prep. See <URL:http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/> for details." For example if install is done from the console it can get tricky to copy these informations. Having them in the debian readme would avoid this. (and the user may have missed the alert as the installation is successful). It could also go in the packages description so one could preapre the sdk before the installation :) Sincerely Alban PS: by the way I am quite frightened by the Palm developper agreement. Have i read right that after signing it , even if closing the agreement, giving the tools and data back I am still bound "forever" by the restricitons : it looks pretty close to the share alike licence from microsoft ... forbiding me to work, use or read anything related to what was provided through the program even if i get those by other means afterwards :-/ Not that i am able to rebuild such materials, though if someone does I would be forbidden to use his work ! It looks to me i would be safer infringind whatever this licence tells by purpose than signing it then infrigind one of it s wide requirments by mistake. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-rc5usb-serial Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages prc-tools depends on: ii prc-tools-arm 2.2.90.cvs20030306-6 Development toolchain for PalmOS a ii prc-tools-m68k 2.2.90.cvs20030306-6 Development Toolchain for PDAs usi prc-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
