Package: openmsx Version: 0.5.1-2 Severity: wishlist OpenMSX has a Depends: on cbios, while it is possible to have a useful package without it (by including a ROM file ripped from a real MSX machine). People who want to use their own ROMs are thus forced to install cbios, which is not good.
I think there should instead be a Depends: on a virtual package (called msx-systemrom or something) which is provided by cbios. Then someone who has a ripped ROM could create a package from that which also provides the virtual package. If it is done in this way, it might be good to make a script for that, as most people will not know how to make a debian package. :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages openmsx depends on: ii cbios 0.20-1 open source MSX BIOS roms ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-12 GCC support library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsdl-image1 1.2.4-1 image loading library for Simple D ii libsdl1.2debi 1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007-4.1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-12 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libxml2 2.6.16-7 GNOME XML library ii tcl8.4 8.4.9-1 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii xlibmesa-gl [ 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86] ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
