Package: clearsilver Version: 0.9.13-3.2 Severity: serious The upstream clearsilver tarball includes everything that's needed to use the clearsilver system, namely:
1. C Libraries and Headers 2. Commandline Utilities 3. Language Bindings 4. Documentation (man pages, examples, etc) Currently, clearsilver in Debian is pretty empty. It doesn't include any C libraries or headres (even though the clearsilver-dev package description claims to), it doesn't include any of the useful command-line utilities, and it doesn't include any language bindings, except for a PARTIAL binding for python. The binding for python only includes the CGI kit library, but not the main utility/template library. This makes the clearsilver package in Debian completely useless for actually developing applications that use clearsilver, or using clearsilver on a web site, except if you use a very small subset of it's capability, and only use it with python. There really isn't any excuse for this, since this is a fairly robust template system and almost everything builds and runs perfectly with no modifications to the upstream software under a current Debian unstable. Not to mention there are lots of extras, like example scripts, an emacs mode, tons of man pages, an Apache modules, and so forth. Most of these could be installed easily with very minimal effort. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages clearsilver-dev depends on: ii python-clearsilver 0.9.13-3.2 python bindings for clearsilver clearsilver-dev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
