Hi Jonathan, thanks for contributing your views on xloadimage and xli!
> I do not know the history of xloadimage and xli. Neither do I. I am maintaining xloadimage inside Debian because it is a package quite some people use (and has a history of security issues, so someone should care about it). I do know that xloadimage has long been dropped upstream. It could be said that Debian, with the large set of patches it carries, might be the de facto maintainer of xloadimage as a whole. After a quick look, the same might be true for xli ;). Ryan, maybe you can provide something more? > By the way, the only upstream location I could find for the two is > > ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/xloadimage.4.1.tar.gz > ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/xli.1.16.tar.gz > ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/xli.README …and these have gone, too. The watch fiel of the xloadimage package I uploaded today uses the GWDG mirror ☹. > Is there someplace else that people coordinate on patches? (E.g., > where does xli 1.17.0+20061110 come from?) > > Thanks for your work, and sorry to fill your inbox with this nonsense > (though I hope it can be useful nonsense). Yep, it is useful. So, I'd like to hear what Ryan, the maintainer of xli, has to say to this ☺. Cheers, Nik
