I was surprised that glimpse was not on my Debian CD, so I downloaded it from the Debian web page. Until [EMAIL PROTECTED] told me it was non-free.
What I find strange if that I managed to download it without realising it was non-free. I only *now* noticed that it's non-free by putting the cursor on the `Download it!' ftp link and seeing the non-free part in the path. Suggestions: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Debian web page's package search path does not hint to that: http://cgi.debian.org/www-master/debian.org/Packages/stable/utils/glimpse.html Maybe there should be a non-free part of the path in there? Maybe the displayed page background should be changed for contrib and non-free packages to highlight that fact? It's strange that a package dependence on a non-free package is very much highlighted, but that the non-free package itself is not. For example, look at contrib package `latex2html'. In bright red, we see that it depends on non-free giftrans. However, click on giftrans and you'll see nowhere on it's own page that it's non-free! -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
