Don't take it personally, but it's just Yet Another Toy Package. It might be a good idea to package it and to offer the debs outside debian (getting listed on apt-get.org and on pshttpd's homepage, for example), but IMHO it's not worth being included in Debian. It'll just confuse newbies about what webserver to use. -- Aaron Isotton [ http://www.isotton.com/ ]

PostScript as the implementation language is funny, but does not offer special value per se. So the question is: how is this webserver superior to other webservers already in Debian?

id have to disagree, the upstream name of the package should be used for
the debian package name ("ticker" in this, not "gnome-ticker"), and the
short description should include that it is a stock ticking program.

That's unrealistic for several reasons:
a) Upstreams don't always choose good names. The previous poster spelt
out the conditions where "gnome-ticker" would be a good name; that is,
if it supports a common generic ticker feed format. This application
does not. I agree with those conditions. You don't get to name your
software whatever you want and expect distributors to keep to it - an
extreme example would be somebody distributing an image viewer named
"jpegview" that didn't support the JPEG format.
b) Our users care about what toolkits applications are written in;
having an easily-identifiable nomenclature for that (gnome-*, for
instance) makes their lives easier.
c) There is already a "ticker" in the archive - did you even *check*?
Perhaps you should explain _why_ you believe the upstream name should be
used unconditionally.
