Bug#509879: NMU for azureus
2008/12/30 Shaun Jackman sjack...@gmail.com: 2008/12/30 David Paleino d.pale...@gmail.com: I would've gladly done that, if I only knew how to start azureus in classical GUI mode from the command line :) (tried several classes, I believed it was one of org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main and ui.jws.Main, but the Vuze gui started nevertheless) ... I'm hoping there's a command-line option to select the interface. If not, I may add one. Otherwise, the preference must be stored in a config file somewhere. If it's reasonably straight forward, I may modify the config file before starting azureus I found the trick. You can start azureus/vuze with the command-line option -Dforce.ui=az2 to force the classic interface. The `azureus' executable will do this; the `vuze' executable will not. I'm preparing an upload now. Cheers, Shaun -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Hi David, On Mon, 29 Dec 2008 11:02:56 -0800, Shaun Jackman wrote: ... The fact is, starting azureus effectively fires up the shiny and blinking Vuze interface. So something's really wrong. ... You're right. That's the crux of the bug. I believe this is fixable. Here's my proposed solution: The package azureus contains a shell script /usr/bin/azureus that fires up the program. I'll force this script to override the user's preference and start the classic GUI. For the vuze package, which is currently empty, I'll add a shell script /usr/bin/vuze that starts the user's preferred GUI.

Bug#509879: NMU for azureus
Hi David, Vuze is the dummy package, and azureus is the substantial package. Vuze depends on azureus and additional packages required to run the novel Vuze GUI. Those dependencies are not necessary when using the classical GUI of Azureus. Azureus suggests vuze. Perhaps this should be Recommends. Otherwise, before Lenny is released, I don't see making any major changes. If the user wishes to run the Vuze GUI, the user may install the package vuze, which includes all the necessary dependencies. if the user wishes to run the Azureus GUI and minimize dependencies, the user may install the package azureus. The primary issue is that if the user wishes to run the Vuze GUI but installs the azureus package, the user will see library exceptions rather than a useful error message. If anything, I think these bugs simply require better documentation describing the difference between the azureus and vuze packages. Cheers, Shaun 2008/12/28 David Paleino d.pale...@gmail.com: Hello Shawn, do you plan fixing #509878 and #509878? I can prepare a NMU if you don't have time. Also, I saw that debian/control lists azureus and vuze: wouldn't it be better to make azureus a transitional dummy package depending on vuze, and make vuze be the real package? Currently vuze only has: $ apt-file list vuze vuze: /usr/share/doc/vuze/changelog.Debian.gz vuze: /usr/share/doc/vuze/copyright $ And azureus is not a separate tool, AFAICS, to justify two binary packages (and one just containing useless docs) Kindly, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
