This arrangement allows me to use these repositories as a staging ground for scribus-related packages that belong in "contrib" and non-free without ever having to change the source lines. For example, Scribus documentation is non DFSG-free due to its license. So, if you look at the 1.2.x series packages I maintain in Debian proper you'll notice that its name includes "dfsg" and scribus-doc is a separate non-free package in Debian. The scribus and scribus-cvs binary packages are currently in the "main" archive. Actually I really should split non-free docs from 1.3.x package as well. I haven't done that so far as scribus-cvs (1.3.x) is an experimental and non policy-compliant package (installs into /usr/local hierarchy for example) and nobody has complained about the package size, yet :) Regards, Alex -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
