Bug#692830: ITP: nemo -- File manager for cinnamon
Nemo provides a lot of improvements to nautilus' user experience, including: *Unified, configurable toolbar: you can add/remove the following: up icon, refresh icon, toggle button for the location bar / path bar, home icon, computer icon and search icon. * Detachable tabs * Option to show the full path in the titlebar and tab bars (Preferences > Display) * Displays an "elevated privileges" banner when running as root * Built in "Open as root" context menu item * Built in "Open in terminal" context menu item * Added GTK bookmarks to the MoveTo/CopyTo context menus * Added "Set as Wallpaper" to the context menu * Switch view buttons on the toolbar (Grid, List and Compact views) * Drag and drop support for the bookmarks in the sidebar * Sidebar: indicators under each drive, displaying the free/used space * Collapsable sidebar categories * Support for sending files via Thunderbird and xdg-email * Image properties improvements (merged from Nautilus 3.6) * Memory leaks fixes (merged from Nautilus 3.6) So, "redundancy" is only partially true. I strongly suggest you accept Nemo into Debian official repositories (provided the packages are good quality and lintian-clean). If not, then nautilus maintainers should incorporate these changes to their file manager (which I think would be preferable, and alleviate the need for a fork such as Nemo). I don't think they're willing to do this. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#692830: ITP: nemo -- File manager for cinnamon
At the moment Nemo doesn't make substantial changes but I think they make it more usable compared to new nautilus and even slightly to nautilus 3.4. Speaking for myself now the only shortcoming is rabbitvcs extension, excluding some minor issues. About debian package it is not bad, Nicolas Bourdaud seems to have already started to improve it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I don't think it is currently a sensible decision to introduce duplicate GNOME3 packages into Debian. Nautilus 3.4 is currently available through GNOME3, so this would introduce redundancy. Also, I am not really convinced of the quality of the packages by Linux Mint. The mdm display manager in the current Linux Mint release is a dirty fork of the original gdm 2.20 code with the word "gdm" regexp-replaced by "mdm" (the readme [1] refers to "ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/mdm/"; as the download location, for example). Also, the debian directory contains a control.in template which is never used (since this was part of the original Debian package). The package doesn't cleanly co-install with gdm nor gdm3, contains tons of lintian errors and uses a completely outdated version of debhelper. I don't think such packages would meet the quality standards of Debian. Also, last time I checked, Linux Mint Debian itself mixes packages from unstable with their own repository and I have seen many package conflicts with this setup. I think a derivative distribution should always maintain their own complete repository.
