Bug#459156: patch

2008-01-23 Thread Larry Doolittle
The problem is in a different treatment of echo "\n". Under bash it comes out "\n", under dash it comes out " ". This patch quickly bypasses the problem. Trust it as far as you can throw it. - Larry --- kbd-1.12/configure 2004-01-03 06:53:39.0 -0800 +++ kbd-1.12-hack/configure 2

Bug#439363: how come youtub-dl is in stable?

2007-09-11 Thread Larry Doolittle
To me, youtube-dl is the epitome of a package that belongs in volatile. Putting it in stable invites bugs like this. I have no idea if it can be switched to etch-volatile at this time. Personally, I run a copy built from upstream source. Its build requirements and resource needs are trivial.
