License restrictions? (graphviz)
doxygen Ryunosuke Satoh I just want to point out, that the astyle maintainer also has the ownership of doxygen. The doxygen version does not work correctly on text mounts and Ryunosuke confirmed me this lastly (after some private email conversation 1 year ago), but he neither build a version with corrected open modes nor did he update doxygen to the current version 1.3.x (where x is meanwhile 3). So I suppose that doxygen is abandonned too. Doxygen chatter made me remember something I was interested in maintaining. Graphviz, which is the source of the 'dot' program which doxygen can use to produce some very nice inheritance diagrams. I guess the main issue I wondered about was whether the att 'open source' licence used is compatible with the practicalities and ethos of the setup.exe distribution. Its distributed as part of debian 'non-free' so I imagine it can't be too bad, but I'm not one to understand legalize all that well.

Re: -bin packages?
I think that it some cases it may be needed and solve some packaging problems -
I believe tetex is one of those cases (hence, IMHO, it should not be forbidden
to do so). OTOH, even though most people will not be interested in the binaries
in the pcre package (pcregrep and pcretest) I don't think this warrants making
a non-standard pcre-bin package..
IOW, I think exceptions should be possible if warranted. Whether or not aspell
and XFree warrant the exception is up to their maintainers to ponder..

I hate to do this at this late point (and I *really* hate it when people
do it to me) but I didn't notice the slightly nonstandard practice of
naming the binary 'aspell-bin'. I'd like to change that. Otherwise
we have a base package which only contains source, which is also
unusual. I'd prefer to mv aspell-{bin-,}0.50.3-1.tar.bz2 and
put it at the top level of the aspell directory and move everything else
underneath it.
Gareth, do you have a problem with that?
I just re-noticed that tetex also has a -bin package.
What do people think about this? I would like to be consistent in package
naming and it seems like most packages put their binaries in a package sans
-bin. There is an empty tetex package but I don't understand the need
to complicate things this way.
XFree86 also does this and I am, again, not sure why it's needed.

Well, kind of. I guess you could call me the proxy maintainer. Harold said he just released the initial package to get people started, and that he wasn't interested in maintaining it. I needed some bug fixes from newer versions, so we struck a deal. I provide updates to Harold on my time table and try to reasonably support those updates. He graciously accepts and publishes them.
