Re: multiarch status update

> For example, multiple minor versions or multiple major versions? Read the papers listed in the wiki. The short answer is no, same as it is today with single-arch. As explained in the papers, trying to do anything else results in a complex dependency nightmare. -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: RFC: Better portability for package maintainers

free software. Both combinations are interesting from a free software perspective, but most people in Debian are more likely to get excited about the more free option. -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: RFC: Better portability for package maintainers

ally supporting the LSB ABIs in the system root that would be cool (but the easiest way of doing it would be using glibc). This stuff could be really interesting to work on, get Sun to make the license GPL compatible and you'll see people in Debian interested in working on it. -- Matt Taggar

Re: apt-update-stat.pl analyse changes in Debian software repository

interesting (but out of date now, I should re-run it at some point). Have you published output from your tool anywhere? -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Adding an application to the menu

ook at the source of other packages to see how they do that. If your package uses debhelper, the dh_installmenu command is what you want to use. Those pointers should be enough to figure it out. -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject

Re: What do you wish for in an package manager?

C, or Foo-CLIENT, and Foo-SERVER fileset definitions. SD is pretty nice(as far as closed propriatary software goes), but it is pretty large and slow relative to dpkg/apt. If some of these features could be added to dpkg/apt without sacrificing performance/ease-of-use/supportability then that would be pretty cool. -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: dpkg-cross maintenance status

atform over dpkg-cross. Debian was not meant to be xcompiled :( For now maybe you could just publish them somewhere and submit a pointer to the BTS. If the maintainer isn't responsive you can follow the proper NMU procedure I guess. -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED]
