-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- We must ask ourselves: Why do we make .deb packages? Simple answer: Because our users find them useful.
Remember the discussion about the purity package? Well, it was agreed (I think) that as long as the package had a license allowing to distribute it, we can make a .deb package of it. For example: Why do we package have a .deb emacs package? Because people find useful to dpkg -i emacs.deb to find emacs in /usr/bin. Why is there a kernel-package? Because people find it useful. Why should I package pine-src? Because many people expressed in debian-user they would find useful to do dpkg -i pine-src.deb and have the pine source in some directory. Agreed, this is not very "orthodox", but we can live with it, because pine will be also distributed in the traditional way in the source directory. Are we censoring this package for its contents, like we almost did with the "purity" package or am I missing anything? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNUmuTSqK7IlOjMLFAQHZPQQAga47OmsyW1U3a6+x2fakD8vUb9lFONgj p/SSwJICbG+L1DNQVoYpqeZu/tC9FmkpILI6pE97/fFvsj4M2SQ4Bvb4jrooRqZt ZuuMnN9riW4jf87XIRcKCyqh0Lr62/3xEvIo16jGMXVxuGpFifC3SCH+3GZ64eDM t7V5d2MUbDA= =EqtU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
