It is just a tool to enable/disable a wireless device as specify in the argument. "urfkill" is a way to manage and toggle these devices based on the conf file. The immediate problem is that when KEY_WLAN is commonly generated by the key press, should bluetooth and 3G be turned off too where there are in fact keycodes dedicated for each: KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_WWAN. Also as a planned function (but not yet implemented in the code now) of urfkill, people desire to turn off wifi on the first pressing, bluetooth on the second and so on... This is only possible if there is a dedicated daemon for handling this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Maybe just avoid starting sentences with "urfkill" as it is always wierd to have sentences beginning with a lowercase letter. A common trick is using "The program|daemon". Also avoid "e.g." which is a latinism that's too often used in English..:). I propose parenthesis...another option would be using "such as". Replace "etc." with an ellipsis (...) as it avoids the tricky use of a dot before and after a closing parenthesis. That would give: The urfkill daemon allow managins the rfkill-related hotkeys and the killswitches in a more configurable way for the common RF devices (WiFi, Bluetooth, WWan...). It handles the various key codes (KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_RFKILL, etc) and toggles the killswitches based on a pre-defined policy. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Say, one may like the bluetooth to be switched off too on KEY_WLAN, whereas in fact KEY_WLAN is for Wifi only, at least literally. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi, How does it differ from rfkill, already in the archive? Perhaps the description could be updated to make this clear. thanks, kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian contributor / gNewSense Maintainer http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I would suggest having a more explicit description. Also, the "Description" you give is a sentence. Short descriptions (aka "synopsis") shouldn't be sentences, see Developer's Reference. Something along "wireless killswitch management daemon for laptops" would be appropriate, imho (assuming the package is indeed what I think it is..:-)) signature.asc Description: Digital signature
