[Bug 657564] Re: Duplicated package with cairo-dock-plugins (coming from Debian)

 

Hello Nobuhiro Iwamatsu,

Thank you for your answer!

> This was a change for package checks of Debian (lintian).

Can you explain why it's a problem? I guess you're right and it's maybe
not a good idea to use this tild character right there but we want to
fix this bug for all users ;)

> We have not forced it on you about this.
> This is a correction to have only in Debian.

Yes, as I said, it's not a problem to change anything (BTW thank you to
check our code and test it carefully!) but don't hesitate to report
these changes, questions or bugs to us ;)

> Hmm? We have not provided cairo-dock-data package.
> We will change it like that if you want to divide it as cairo-dock-data package.

No it's not a big deal. It's just because Cairo-Dock packages have been
created first for Ubuntu (it was a choice of a former contributor, sorry
for that) and it seems the packages have been totally rewritten and we
don't know why.

> The up stream was cairo-dock-plugins. We only just use it.
> If you need , I will change.

It's maybe a good idea to fix this bug. But as I said, I understand this
choice but this package has been uploaded on Ubuntu before to be
uploaded on Debian and this package has been proposed on Debian with the
same name.. (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=493736)

We understand and we respect your opinion but we strongly discourage
packagers from doing that...

> Sorry, where did you report this bug?
> At least I was not able to find it in Debian.

I know it was not the right place to do that but you said 'I see' (comment 11) so I guessed it was ok for you => https://bugs.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-plug-ins/+bug/540648
(except that you said 'せん' (No?) on the same line but I don't know why)


To conclude, thank you to maintain these packages but if you want, I can propose to you a new version of these packages with the same settings as Cairo-Dock packages for Ubuntu (7 packages) but ported to Debian.

  Binary package hint: cairo-dock-plug-ins

  Hi,

  After syncing cairo-dock-plugin package from debian, we now have two
  time the same source in the archive. Please work with Debian to be
  able to merge the 2 packages, and have it only once.

  Thanks,
  Fabrice
