Programming Lang: C Description : A light Browser for Pixmaps and Bitmaps XbmBrowser was already up to Sarge in the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution and was orpahed on 2005-07-29 by the Debian QA-Team since no one want to maintain it. For some weeks I have installed a new workststion and found out, that xbmbrowser is not more availlable... After searching the BTS I have considered to download the last Debian version 5.1-8.2 solved three bugs build the package, made the lintian test (terminated with success) and installed it. It works like expected. The last Changelog is: xbmbrowser (5.1-9) unstable; urgency=low * Since it was orphaned in 2005-07-29 I push it back because I and some other peoples need it. * Rewrite of debian/rules to use debhelper. * Correcting (Bug#153147) and changing x-terminal-editor to x-terminal-emulator in all xbmbrowser menu files * Moved /usr/share/xbmbrowser/xbmbrowser.menu to /etc/xbmbrowser.menu and configured it as config file. I can not support the wish to enlarge the global menu to /usr/lib/tkdesk/... links, since it would mean, that I have to add another directories too (this can be done by USER configs). But however, I have included an heavy updated /etc/xbmbrowser.menu with more security and overwrite protection. (closes: #18005) * Patch from Andree Leidenfrost <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> applied.

(closes: #306705) -- Michelle Konzack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 26 Dec 2006 22:26:06 +0100 I have already uploded the package to <http://mentors.debian.net/> and searching now for a sponsor. The only thing I have forgotten was to change the debian/copyright file and the maintainer Info which point currently to Martin Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks, Greetings and nice Day Michelle Konzack Systemadministrator Tamay Dogan Network Debian GNU/Linux Consultant -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-386 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ ##################### Debian GNU/Linux Consultant ##################### Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/6/61925193 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
