Package: mldonkey-server Version: 2.9.5-2 Severity: normal
1) In etch mldonkey was started with mldonkey_server ... In lenny mldonkey_server is gone. README.Debian should have had a brief and simple write up on what the user must use in place If you are going to do this (change interfaces, a bad thing in any software development) to your users, it is a very good idea also to advice them how to cope with it. After some searching through the man pages one finds mlnet. Aparently this is the userspace command (if I am not mistaken) that replaces mldonkey_server. This should have been documented in README.Debian 2) In etch mldonkey would download (commit) files to ~/.mldonkey/incoming . In lenny the files seem to dissapear somewhere (if the server is started as root using the init scripts provided as part of the package) till you figure out that they are in /var/lib/mldonkey. Shouldn't this change have been documented clearly in README.Debian instead of letting your user ferret it out. 3) While there are plenty of docs in the "docs" and "distrib" directories in /usr/share/doc/mldonkey-server folders, these are mostly of relavance to developers/hackers rather than an average user. Also your notes in README.Debian are not appropriate for an user trying to understand how to run and use the mldonkey server in debian. They may certainly be useful once the user has managed to run and use MLdonkey and then wants to tweak it to his/her preference. Such information must be provided clearly particularly, in view of the tendency of the mldonkey server package, to change its interface through sarge, etch and lenny. Kindly improve quality of Debian specific user documentation in view of the above. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mldonkey-server depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.14.25 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libgd2-xpm 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-3 GD Graphics Library version 2 ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-2 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii mime-support 3.44-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii ucf 3.0016 Update Configuration File: preserv ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime mldonkey-server recommends no packages.
