Bug#180014: ITA: gdm - GNOME Display Manager

2003-02-06 Thread Ari Pollak
Just following Christian's suggestion, since as far as he is concerned,  
Ryan is no longer the maintainer of gdm.. And seeing as he is one of two 
main organizers of GNOME2 in Debian, I'd assume he knows a lot better 
about what should be done with a GNOME2 component.

Err, be honest, this is not an ITA - it's an intent to hijack.

Bug#180014: ITA: gdm - GNOME Display Manager

Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable;
Severity: normal

This is basically the same gdm package based on Ryan Murray & Colin
Walters' packaging, but the latest version which integrates with GNOME2.
I won't be uploading anything for at least a week and a half so I can 
get input from people who would know better than I as to whether this 
should even be uploaded - Ryan has said that he won't replace gdm with a 
newer version because GNOME2 doesn't run on all architectures yet, but 
the people who can run GNOME2 shouldn't be penalized with a GNOME1 
version of gdm.
