Package: smokeping Version: 2.3.6-1 Severity: wishlist Smokeping 2.4.0 has been released. The main new feature is a new Ajax traceroute tool written in javascript, using the qooxdoo framework.
The qooxdoo framework isn't currently in Debian, and although the files in the upstream tarball that were generated with it (like htdocs/script/Tr.js) are free, they are clearly not sanely modifiable. I feel uncomfortable about packaging the new version for Debian without a means of rebuilding the files with tools in Debian; this seems to me like a violation of our Social Contract. As I'm far from an expert on javascript myself, I just filed an RFP for qooxdoo (#485975). I'm hoping the Debian Javascript team will pick it up, and I'll postpone uploading 2.4.0 at least for now. José, please let me know if you think this is overly picky. -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
