Re: Re: RFS: dmaths
Hi Jakub, I finally found time to actually install the software and play a bit with it. I have to admit that I am deeply disappointed. I spent maybe 5 minutes and I saw: - tooltips in French; - tooltips in German; - dialog boxes in French; - *lots* of error messages in French; - an error box with no message at all (!); - unhandled exceptions in Basic code. (Mind you, I don't speak French or German and I've never configured my system or LibreOffice to use any of these languages. Yes, indeed in these areas leaves much to be desired...The aim of the package is to facilitate the writing of mathematical formulas and this works sufficiently well. The package has a group of followers [0]. I adopt this package when I was an orphan [1], then I discovered already critical errors [2] (although the package is in Debian since 2008). With the release of the stable version (Squezee) and the replacement Open Office to Libre Office, I've just inspected the package in depth. In these days I've been watching the package more carefully and there are some issues. The principal is if it's worth packing Libre Office extensions. This is not the kind of quality I expect from software that is in Debian. I am not willing to sponsor this package. Ok. Thank you for your time and your sincerity. I think about that I do with this package. Best regards! I.

Re: Re: RFS: dmaths
Hi Jakub! I have reviewed: no reference to them in macros files. I've deleted them (in the script for repackaging). Oh, I just realized that they were documentation files installed into /usr/share/doc/. Well, in that case maybe it's worth keeping them. (On the other hand they are all in French, so I have no idea how useful they are.) In /share/doc/ are not useful for the user: there is no reference to the existence of these documents. I think it's not worth keeping them... Regards! I. De Marchi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Re: RFS: dmaths
Hi Jakub, Thanks, I like the new .orig.tar more. I do wonder however, what happened to debian/dmaths.patch. Good! This patch changes seem unnecessary: If not running, nothing happens. The elimination is in debian/changelog Are these files mini_memo_dmaths_1.5.odt memo_OOo_dmaths_1.5.odt Lisez-moi.odt install.odt used for anything? If they are not, I'd appreciate if you could remove them from .orig.tar, too. It'll make future reviews easier. I have reviewed: no reference to them in macros files. I've deleted them (in the script for repackaging). The package is updated now in debian mentors: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dmaths/dmaths_3.4.2 +dfsg1-1.dsc Thank you for your interest. Regards! I.

Re: Re: RFS: dmaths
Hi Jakob, I have decided to make profound changes in the compilation of the package: I've removed some unnecessary things and updated debian/rules to dh $@. In addition, I have automated the process of packaging of sources. Thus, the compilation is more clear and simple. I hope that the package is now better. The package is in http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dmaths/dmaths_3.4.2 +dfsg1-1.dsc Regards! I.

Re: Re: RFS: dmaths
Hi Jakob, I have realized some changes in the package. I have written a script for the change of them sources. Now the file control is the correct one. I hope that the bundle should be correct I have updated the package in debian.mentors http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dmaths/dmaths_3.4.2 +dfsg1-1.dsc I suppose that in a few minutes it will be free.
