Hi all,
During the last few days posted around 15-20 bugs about simple things
which are missing from packages. Some of the bugs I posted about are
:-
a. Outdated packages and new packages have been released by upstream,
the only one which I haven't reported for is wxmaxima but that is
because it's under Debian-QA (which AFAIK means no real maintainer and
the package is orphaned).
b. Upstream is either dead or MIA or the hyperlink given does not work.
c. No upstream homepage link is shared.
d. App. is in different language than English - this one was promptly
closed but do think it was a bug, there shouldn't be any tools which
don't have english #782028
e.Adequate repots that a missing symlink is there or a library-not-found.
While the above are more or less generic and easy in nature, I do hope
to explore some of the packages more intimately. For e.g. I haven't
reported it yet but rocs seems to not have either a demo version or
some examples for people to see what it is capable of.
I tried the script as the one shared at screenshots.debian.net/rocs
but that doesn't work because some of the terms are deprecated.
Another one which I want to report but want to ask before-hand is
about r-cran-rcmdr .
Aptitude reports :-
aptitude show r-cran-rcmdr | grep Description
Description: GNU R platform-independent basic-statistics GUI
Both the short as well as long description describe it a GUI but
looking through the package, I could see only libraries and not
anything in /usr/bin
$ dpkg -L r-cran-rcmdr | grep /usr/sbin | grep /usr/bin
$
So, look forward to understanding from people for above.
