You haven't read the manual page for icotool, have you? It's clearly written out in the examples: #v+ Create an icon named `favicon.ico' with two images: $ icotool -c -o favicon.ico mysite_32x32.png mysite_64x64.png #v- > How's icotool handling that ?

Well, I don't question the good intention of the question nor would I insist on packaging it - I just needed such a tool and didn't find a suitable one right away this week - the convenient tool name would have been png2ico, so I just searched for that in debian and didn't get a match, so I tried google and found that one and it works just fine. That's why I filed an ITP - I just didn't know there's another tool available already :-) OTOH this utility is just limited to doing what I wanted to do - convert a couple of standard size icons into one single ico for a CD. Works like: png2ico icon-16.png icon-22.png icon-32.png icon-48.png icon-64.png myicon.ico How's icotool handling that ? Can it convert multiple iconsizes into one ico resource or is it limited to one single png file converted into ico format ?

Because each has its own advantages, be they security, lightweight, easy of configuration, flexibility, or the ability to handle giant loads. Just one advantage will do. Ciao. Vincent.

He asked what was superior/different between icoutils and png2ico. He didn't say it shouldn't go in or that there was any problem with it. If it doesn't do anything different one might wonder about the point of including it. Obviously mutt and elm are quite different in a number of ways, as are exim and sendmail, etc. Are you getting defensive so quickly because there is no difference?

I'm just asking how it's better, not saying it can't be better: it's entirely possible that it is. If you can't answer the question then I might be more concerned, though.
