Any reasons why the Linux gazette is not present anymore?
And is there a virtual package for the Linux gazette that allays
depends on the newest version?
Another solution would be to have only an installer which installs the
latest version of the LG from a server that keeps it. Keeps the
Packages.gz file clean, and LG readers happy.
Or am I missing something?
To answer the questions:
a) it is present but I havn't updated it in a while (busy). Wouter Verhelst
has offered to take over the package but he's new to packaging so things are
taking a bit of time.
b) nope - I havn't done a virtual latest package yet, there is a bug about
it I think (or Wouter suggested it).
c) personally, I like the LG since I find the issues useful - I found useful
articles in all the ones I read. Unfortuantely since I left uni I havn't
been sufficiently bored to remember to download and read them (and hence to
package them).
d) I was hoping the data section of Debian would get into policy so I
could move the packages there and out of main.
