Re: package split
Dear Elías, there are control fields to inform dpkg that it is acceptable to overwrite another package's files because the installed package replaces it. http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces Have a nice day, Ok Charles, thanks a lot. -- Elías -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

RFS: lal
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package lal. * Package name: lal Version : 1.1-1 Upstream Author : Dave Foster d...@minuslab.net * URL : http://projects.l3ib.org/lal * License : GPL Section : x11 It builds these binary packages: lal- dockable clock applet for various window managers The package appears to be lintian clean. My motivation for maintaining this package is: I've been playing with very light weight window managers for a long time now. The lightest obviously use no dock. However, the time is very important for me to stay on task. I found this little gem from an openbox guide. This clock can either sit inside a docked region (where it can grab the window managers theme) or just be hid down in the corner. I have used it a long time compiled myself but I decided it would be nice to let others pull it from the repositories instead of needing to compile it themselves. This also gave me the motivation to apply some fixes and create a man page which nagged me for a couple years now. I use this side by side with stalonetray and it feels better than having any dock. This clock format is extremely extensible, especially for it's small size.
