Actually, most descriptions of these longstanding tools would really deserve some review and I would actually propose the same unbranding in many parts of them. > > > I'd rather leave that as it is.

Why imply that something that's based on Debian is less free than Debian? I consider that doing our best to make the work of CDD easier is part of our commitment.which may include using as less "branding" as we can. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I just had a look at what the other kids are doing: dpkg: package maintenance system for Debian dpkg-dev: package building tools for Debian apt: Advanced front-end for dpkg This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager. [...] devscripts: scripts to make the life of a Debian Package maintainer easier dh-make: tool that converts source archives into Debian package source dh-make-perl: Create Debian packages from perl modules I'd rather leave that as it is. The package won't be as useful for the less free operating systems based on Debian anyhow. Cheers, -Hilko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
