Package: foxtrotgps
Version: 0.99.4+debian3-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I have a good, old, trusted tangogps set up, with a big POI database and
a vast amount of predownloaded map.
I installed foxtrotgps and a few days later, when I start tangogps, I
get no POIs and I see it's redownloading all the maps.
Panic.
Upon investigation I noticed that now "tangogps" is starting foxtrotgps,
which is not reusing tangogps's configuration and is back from square
one with an empty poi.db on ~/.foxtrotgps and the usual (in my opinion
absurd) default map location of ~/Maps.
No problem, once I found out the reason it was easy to symlink poi.db
and change the map configuration, so now all works again and nothing is
lost.
If foxtrotgps is setting itself up as an alternative to tangogps,
however, it might make sense to either reuse tangogps' configuration or
issue a warning at startup if ~/.foxtrotgps does not exists. Bonus
points for offering to migrate or share the existing tangogps
configuration :)
Ciao,
Enrico

foxtrotgps in sid has no tangogps transitional package anymore (as it
doesn't need it for wheezy), i therefore close the bug with the
appropriate version, it will still remain open for squeeze though.
for squeeze, feel free to coordinate an upload with the release team, i
don't mind.
