Hello!
As a maintainer of pastebin ( http://raphael.slinckx.net/files/ )my
proposition is to drop it, because:
- it's redundand for better&newer&more featured wgetpaste
- it doesn't seem to be updated upstream for years
I can maintain it, but I would like to know that someone it really
needs. I don't see any rational reason to ship it - wgetpaste fully
supercedes it.
In its place (or next to it) I've imported susepaste. It's well
supported upstream and also supports screenshot (of a single window
or full-screen) paste feature.
In general that sounds good.
Being only a user of pastebins, I have some concerns about flexibility
of the width. Normally when using a pastebin, one wants to make
reference to another window. Having a pastebin with flexible width is
a big plus. (Like the old wiki.)
The reference you give redirects to dpaste.com, which wastes width on
the large left margin, as well as the fixed width of the body.
(dpaste.com is better than pastebin.com, which has a much larger fixed
width.)
A much better pastebin is Lodgit (paste.pocoo.org), which has small
left/right margins, and fully flexible width.
Another plus is a large number of file types. (Conveniently ranged in
alphabetical order.)
They list the software used for their site at
http://paste.pocoo.org/about/ (near the bottom of the page).
Thank you for your feedback!
wgetpaste supports multiple pastebins, the result of the "-S" command is:
$ wgetpaste -S
Services supported: (case sensitive):
Name: | Url:
=========|=================
ca | http://pastebin.ca/
codepad | http://codepad.org/
dpaste | http://dpaste.com/
osl | http://pastebin.osuosl.org/
*pocoo | http://paste.pocoo.org/
And pastebin supports http://en.pastebin.ca/
I don't know how that compares to wgetpaste or susepaste, but thought
you might like to consider it.
I'm not sure Fedora Paste or openSUSE Paste are better than the previous
ones, but I would ship them (and I will maintain them), because of the
constant support from the upstream.
+ the handy screenshot feature from openSUSE!
Regards :)
