No "real" arguments? Like following a naming scheme to distinguish Gtk1 engines from Gtk2 engines? You do know that Josselin and me were almost the sole two GNOME maintainers? Do you really want me to write a mini-policy for that? I can add it to the Gtk package, but I must be sure that I spend my time for something useful and that you're going to fix the package name. > In fact I feared that more people would > protest against my plan to rename the package, but after all there was > only one person arguing against the renaming. With me that makes it two, and back in july I did not see anything to add to what Joss said, he was correct. > My arguments were (in short): > - name confusing and misleading What is confusing and misleading in gtk2-engines-qt?

No real arguments against the renaming where given and it turned out that there is not really a policy about the naming scheme. In fact I feared that more people would protest against my plan to rename the package, but after all there was only one person arguing against the renaming. My arguments were (in short): - name confusing and misleading - name does not fit in the gtk-engines-foo naming scheme (because it is in fact a KDE app not a Gnome one) ... and some other I'm sorry you're disappointed by the name, but I don't intend to rename it back. >> I still provide a dummy package with the old name depending on the new >> package, but I plan to remove it for etch+1. > > Please file another bug when you *remove* gtk2-engines-gtk-qt from the > archive completely, and I'll remove the Conflicts.

The dependency is a "Conflicts", I need to keep it, especially for compatibility with Ubuntu, but it is only in experimental, so I'm not updating it right now (I will update it when the package moves to unstable). gtk2-engines-gtk-qt from the archive completely, and I'll remove the Conflicts; this will be presumably etch+1. > I still provide a dummy package with the old name depending on the new > package, but I plan to remove it for etch+1. Please file another bug when you *remove* gtk2-engines-gtk-qt from the archive completely, and I'll remove the Conflicts. Yes, this needs to be etch+1. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Package: libgtk2.0-0 Version: 2.8.20-3 Severity: normal Hi, I've renamed the package gtk2-engines-gtk-qt-engine to gtk-qt-engine. Your package somehow rdepends on it, so please update your depends/recommends/conflicts/... field to the new package name. I still provide a dummy package with the old name depending on the new package, but I plan to remove it for etch+1.
