It's not about censorship (why the hell do people always insist on making any objection to a package an argument about censorship anyway?) bzip2 was packaged because someone thought it would be a useful thing to have in Debian. And it is, lots of people use it. We're not trying to keep useful things out of the distribution.

That's what you've got it for. I'm asking for people to apply a little common sense. I realize this is a lot to ask from people, especially in this project, but it's the only way to prevent more and more useless crap from filling the archives, making Debian CDs cost more, and slowing down the release process while people try to fix silly bugs in packages that nobody uses, rather than worrying about the not so silly bugs in packages people do use. > > When packaging a thing, a developer should be asking what this package > > will add to Debian and who will benefit.

If the software is only useful to a small handful of people, then those people should have the software. If it's useful outside that small group, it probably fits well in Debian. However, it's not our job to serve as the central repository for every single coder's joke program, CS homework assignment, porn collection, or anything else that someone, somewhere wants - even if they are the only person in the world who does. If you cannot apply common sense to the question "should we have this package?", then I can't help you. -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You're entitled to my opinion dark: caldera? rcw - that's not a distribution, it's a curse Knghtbrd: it's a cursed distribution pgpko1tgJBe0Q.pgp Description: PGP signature

Actualy I didn't touch libflash, but the other tools. The full history is a bit confusing, let me explain: someone took your library (without the utils) and made an improved version, with autoconf and something else. to be found at: http://www.directfb.org/download/ Then Aubin packaged it for Debian (see http://packages.debian.org/libflash0) When I asked Aubin about the utils, he started a debian package of your original version. He fixed it to use the mozilla, libjpeg, zlib headers dinamicaly for the system and passed it to me. Then I continued reworking the sources because it couldn't build with the latest versions of the libraries. Aubin (as maintainer of libflash in Debian) will be happy to know about newer versions of libflash. Are you developing upon the improved version by Directfb? > Do your modifications apply on the core part of the lib? > If yes, I won't take them. Since I'm about to release the new version. As said above, my modifications are for the plugin, the player and kflash. Have you worked on these since version 0.4.10?

Aubin had a look at this, the only files you can't use dinamicaly are: npapi.h - GPL/MPL npunix.c - MPL He told me he had modified the whole package to use these headers dinamicaly. I don't know if these are big modifications you need patches for. I was going to ask the Mozilla people about npunix.c. Still want me to do that? > Well, providing the Flash library in a package and other stuff in other > packages won't > harm the GPL aspect of it. That seems okay. The problem is that npunix.o (MPL) is linked with plugin.o (GPL) and this is illegal.

Bug#150551: ITP: wmcoincoin -- Stupid dockapp for browsing DaCode sites news and board

Packaging this is > a waste of time. Stop trolling. There are hundreds of packages in the archive that have less users than that, but nobody cares. I guess it is because they are "serious" applications. But having stupid features and being developed by people having a great sense of humor doesn't make wmcoincoin not serious. It has lots of interesting features, to the point where DaCode and wmcoincoin can bring most of the functionality of an IRC server and client, all over the HTTP protocol, without being a bandwidth hog nor a server killer. With the increasing number of people having only access to a HTTP proxy, it can get a much wider audience. And it has already much more than 30 users. I think the point of Debian is to bring a high quality distribution, bringing alone all software you could want to run. I thought it was now clear that we don't only need "serious" software but also games, time-wasting applets, and funny dockapps, because people don't only use a computer for working. And I don't think the size of the Packages file is a good excuse. If the Packages.gz system cannot scale a large package number, it has to be adapted to this matter. Discussions on how to achieve this have begun on this list, and the problem will have to be solved sooner or later. As I already said, I don't know if packaging wmcoincoin is a bad or a good idea. But you can't let it out just because it is "stupid". -- .''`.

Bug#146636: GPL flash library and utilities
Hello! I've looked at your free flash utilities (from http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/) and like them very much. Me and Aubin Paul have been building debian packages for it. After some time of fixing sources, we have put them to compile with the latest libraries (including Mozilla 1.0.0). They have been heavily modified. Are you still maintaining this? Do you want me to send a tarball with the latest sources? It'd be very nice if you were willing to keep your work on this software set. Also, I've found a license problem. I believe it's illegal to link your GPLed code (plugin.c) with Mozilla's npunix.c, which is licensed under the MPL. So far, I'm trying to contact the Mozilla group for permission to use it as a GPL source file, but if they don't then you'd have to license the plugin under the MPL also; otherwise building it would be illegal. Once this legal issue has been solved, we in Debian would be happy to include the flash utilities in our distribution.

Bug#150527: wnpp: RFP: undump -- turn output from Perl dump() into an executable
Package: wnpp Version: N/A Severity: wishlist I believe the canonical undump is the one which is used when building Emacs. Splitting it out of the Emacs source package should be relatively straightforward, although I've never done it myself, and only rarely seen reports of anybody having done it. I ran into performance problems with a Perl script which I believe could be alleviated if I could dump() the script after initialization but alas, there doesn't seem to be an undump available anywhere. /* era */ -- System Information Debian Release: 2.2 Kernel Version: Linux there 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
