Bug#627508: conflicting binary path for dconf and d-conf

Maybe the binaries name could be changed to confdumper? I think this would be a great proposal but from the Debian Policy: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html , | Two different packages must not install programs with different functionality | but with the same filenames. (The case of two programs having the same | functionality but different implementations is handled via alternatives or | the Conflicts mechanism. See Maintainer Scripts, Section 3.9 and Conflicting | binary packages - Conflicts, Section 7.4 respectively.) If this case happens, | one of the programs must be renamed. The maintainers should report this to the | debian-devel mailing list and try to find a consensus about which program will | have to be renamed. If a consensus cannot be reached, both programs must be | renamed. ` I am not sure what happens when the maintainer does not react but maybe the package should get removed What I hate is the fact that dconf predates Gnome's project, and they went forward with the name anyway even though they knew about the name conflict. (There's a blog post from Philip Van Hoof where during the design phase he noted that the name dconf was already taken). I asked them to use another name. -- -- dag wieers, d...@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- dagit linux solutions, i...@dagit.net, http://dagit.net/ [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I wonder if there is a way to only syntax-check the plugins so that a make dist would automatically trigger this.

(Debian is behind) Secondly, one does not need to rebuild the docs as I offer the docs already premade. I do not see any benefit for Debian to rebuild the docs because I explicitely DO NOT WANT a dependency on asciidoc or xmlto. So I'm interested to learn whether the 0.6.6 release still has the same problem on Debian, but my solution is to not build the docs but use the man-page as it is distributed.
