The overall benefit over our virtual package system, possibly in addition to equivs seems flexible enough. Why do we tailor incomplete special case solutions instead of recommending equivs more popularly? I say incomplete, because similar use cases exist for different package groups - e.g. think of mail servers and database servers. Do we really want dummy packages for each group of alternatives? On the other hand, we have a perfect solution which apparently only needs some more propaganda if even developer don't know it. That said, you're a developer. If you want to maintain such a dummy package, you could consider uploading it despite of all critics and hope ftpmaster will accept it. I would, however, support any effort in finding a consolidated web application policy regarding dependencies, suggestions, ways to interact with web servers and such. - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPB0l2AAoJEMcrUe6dgPNtJ4AP/3EE5wJYBGcSuUinQWDqF6BP cusFmmsHhB7xnrUxfu6/JdDgBjV81PZ7FCV503X3EXbAUsF2iy9W2O9FFOrhfPi7 WTpLK72SGlkiESelffcNMpERV5f/N+QJnowa9k6PGLzgFpgpShEI+RokTL6IXYu2 XjqJvNPB8BbwXeAK/OR4LfcZeHx2kZNUWlbSxyWdhnDvAQMVX4Ryc7XFrfjYjqw/ nFoYQ7cpS/i9EzJcTk1vXxF4HOP4FHXX23h5/A/RdCQuFPcG3u7E73rG4+D7+/WE +wt9q/CeEV1OTql09uAaPYOV+RJdI0q5akkEOmF6tHFN9+eaq7vc4aKmazqMd/H6 i560WR/pv7rTeD/azwCajO1zFLnCNStIUIFZPHpQbq5tMU0hxzFrFaFWtaRZS8SR 9eWh9OJbsbLMocg8jkWzCJTLAzdBjzYNyhAFOR1Vntm60mGAYj3yz3Rn2HAJOI7I lC+3rhnW2e0vTYtKe2DT1j5D9D7fK8RyokY/OMVjLfodguiQIOx7Sxl+vgbFVxBA TrJiABus7vnWU1nfDd8uA10JZuC6Zh+J9QFSsimXgARv8N3Yk6+JKw9caXKAmJ1G F6RgPqzoMOMsxt17Ha+emt/9qbVEymqiHKIkgRDVXrRb8HrsCUjx87+f8tgLch5A eKB2duwWdAPJeHD2YtBL =5jiK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
