Subject: ITP: nox -- nox -- Meta package Package: wnpp Owner: Frank Lin PIAT <fp...@klabs.be> Severity: wishlist
* Package name : nox Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Frank Lin PIAT <fp...@klabs.be> * URL : http://www.klabs.be/~fpiat/linux/debian/proposals/2009-01-17_nox/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: n.a Description : nox -- Meta packages No-X is a suite of shell tools, either command line or Curses based, that are useful for people that don't use X-Window. Binary packages: - nox-base, depends on the most common command line tools, that are suitable for most systems (desktop and servers). - nox-desktop-environment, which is very complete No-X metapackage for desktop user. It attempts to provides many functionality provided by graphical desktop environnements, but only text and ncurse based. - fb-desktop-environment is similar to above, but also have some graphical progams (using framebuffer... not for vt100 terminals ;-) - nox-base provides a reduced set of tools that many users might want to add to a standard system. - nox-system-tools provides a large set of tools, suitable on both end-users systems and servers. - nox-server-tools provides a set of tools, that one probably want on a servers. - nox-network-clients depends on many usual network tools and clients. The idea comes from wiki pages like http://wiki.debian.org/Console where visitors/contributors seems to like to install some extra command-line tools. The current debian/control draft is included below. The current dependencies on package with priority=standard are going to go away (like "less"), unless there are useful alternatives in which case It might depends on either (?).
