 No you are definetly not. You are pissing people off. 
 
  Other platforms aren't nearly as significant as i386 (not many users, no 
  much new hardware).
 
 You're arrogance makes me wonder if George W. Bush is related to you.
 
 I'll give you a hint: we are volunteers, and we do this because it's
 fun. Messages like yours, that demand service for free just disgust.
 I guess after seeing your messages Branden goes out for a beer 
 rather an opens a editor to serve ungrateful kids.
 

I'll chip in to pay for the beer, as long as he comes back.

(I'm just a user, and buying beer for developers could be my best
contribution :)

Bug#128396: general: /usr/lib/menu/doc-base-happydoc breaks update-menu

2002-01-09 Thread Rich Rudnick
Package: general
Version: N/A; reported 2002-01-08
Severity: normal
Tags: patch



-- System Information
Debian Release: 3.0
Architecture: i386
Kernel: Linux aias 2.4.16 #3 Tue Nov 27 09:14:26 PST 2001 i686
Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=

dpkg -S /usr/lib/menu/doc-base-happydoc does not return any package 
owning this file, so I'm submitting this as general; please reassign
as needed.

For edification:

rich: ~ $ dpkg -S *happy*
dpkg: *doc-base-happydoc* not found.
rich: ~ $ dpkg -l *happy*
No packages found matching doc-base-happydoc.

Well, the above I don't understand at all :)

Currently, the file on my box contains:

?package(doc-base):needs=dwww section=\
 title=HappyDoc Source Documentation\
 description=This is the Source documentation for HappyDoc\
 command=/usr/share/doc/python-happydoc-doc/srcdocs/index.html

With this file in place, update-menu complains that 'section' is empty
and fails out, leaving the Debian sub-menu in my Gnome menu empty.

After examining other python doc packages, I modified as follows:

?package(doc-base):needs=dwww section=Apps/Programming\
 title=HappyDoc Source Documentation\
 description=This is the Source documentation for HappyDoc\
 command=/usr/share/doc/python-happydoc-doc/srcdocs/index.html

After adding Apps/Programming to 'section', update-menus succeeds,
and the Debian submenu is populated.
