Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.13-5.1+b1
Severity: serious
Hi,
imho splashy is not fit for being released in squeeze:
1/ It does not work with KMS which is the default for all major graphics
drivers
2/ Has a long list of important bugs
3/ Breaks the boot badly. At the end of the boot process I only have a
black screen and gdm never shows up. I need to hard-reset the machine.
4/ Due to startpar in makefile being the default, progress bar support
is broken, making splashy even less useful.
5/ Development of splashy is dead (at least there has been no activity
for a very long time).
I'm not the maintainer of splashy but in its current state I think the
package should not be released with squeeze (as was usplash) and we
would do our users a disservice having this package in squeeze.
It might be worth considering dropping the package altogether, but I'll
leave that decision up to the package maintainer.
Cheers,
Michael
