Bug#965052: RFP: bitlbee-libpurple -- Missing /var/lib/bitlbee

2020-07-15 Thread David Maslen
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Description : Missing /var/lib/bitlbee

I've not yet configured bitl-bee, just installed it.
I ran systemctl to check the status and noticed this error.
I doubt this is a serious issue, but wondered whether the install should
have created the config directory.

Re: Intent for NMU of python-2.1 packages

 How does that sound ?

I think it sounds like an awful lot of work.  I still don't really
understand why we keep python1.5, but presumably there are some good
reasons, and I trust the debian team to have thrashed that out by now.

You mentioned emacs, which made me think about xemacs packaging
system, and wonder how the python packaging system might work for
debian? Probably it doesn't really.

Ideally I only want to install python2.1 (or whatever the latest
greatest is), but if I did find a need for 1.5 then I would like it to
be able to co-exist. It would be nice, if I only have 2.1 installed,
for the packaging system to automagically configure python as an
alternative for python2.

Probably it would be pretty cool if modules could sort out at install
time what version they were to compile for, just like some debian lisp
packages do for different emacsen.

cheers






apt-get install (for source)

I finally worked out what a great feature apt-get install is.
I was wondering whether anybody has thought of making an option such
as -s to instead download the source files for the named package.
