Interesting that I have missed this the first time that you did this work. Funny thing is that we are trying to get things related to FreePascal into one team, so I invite you to have a look at pkg-pascal on Alioth.
I'd be happy to maintain doublecmd and doublecmd-help packages as part of the pkg-pascal team.
Furthermore, there is a package called tuxcmd, which is also a twin-panel file manager and also written in FreePascal. doublecmd wouldn't be a fork of that project (which has stalled upstream)?
I checked with upstream and doublecmd is not a fork of tuxcmd, but rather a fork of Seksi Commander [1]. I believe the visual similarity of doublecmd and tuxcmd is simply due to them both being inspired by Total Commander and Midnight Commander.
If upstream of doublecmd is really active, maybe we should drop tuxcmd altogether (it is orphaned). If we do, maybe we could help people migrate in the next release by handling this properly.
Would/could we do this even if doublecmd is not a fork of tuxcmd?
Could you investigate (if you have the time of course) if tuxcmd has features that are still lacking in doublecmd?
Is this still required, seeing that doublecmd is not a fork of tuxcmd? Regards Graham [1] http://netcode.cz/projects/seksicmd/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
