My worst nightmare for several years has been that someone would pop up
and demand bidirectional text support in aptitude. Does that count?
Arf...:-)
Let's try to not leave the poor Daniel in his nightmare....
debian-l10n-arabic and Arabeyes people, here's a very interesting
horse to beat for you: how could we make aptitude BiDi friendly given
that we have most of the needed bricks for this:
-a good developer with deep knwoledge of his software
-a decent library for BiDi (libfribidi) but maybe not with C++ stuff
-motivated people (Arabeyes people?)
-very soon a good translation (Ossama?)
So, after putting some glue at the right places, there's nothing we
cannot do, don't you think?
PS for people added to this thread: aptitude is the now recommended
tool for Debian packages installation, selection and general
management. Daniel Burrows is aptitude's maintainer and Debian bug
#344161 is a request for BiDi support in aptitude...
After 10+ years probably nevery going to happen, but anyway, tagging as
+help as an admission that the current devel resources are not enough to
tackle this.
Cheers.
