| Subject: Bug#642307: stterm: duplicates code from suckless-tools
|
| Package: stterm
| Version: 0.0~20091219+hg68-4
|
| I just noticed at debian-devel-changes that you are maintaining a copy
| of st --- thanks! I was just wondering what relationship this package
| has to suckless-tools. Is it supposed to supersede st from there?
It's the other way round.
sucless-tools is duplicating the "stterm"
The correct course of action is:
1) remove "st" from suckless-tools. The original package is
"stterms".
2) package "stterm", compared to sucless-tools, contains more up
to date code including Debian patches.
3) problem with suckless-tools: collection of unrelated various
utilities in one package causes unnecessary coupling.
4) user interested only in light weight terminal emulator can
install it from "stterm" package, not requiring to install
unrelated software.
5) I've been in contact from start with the upstream providing
enhancement patches.
