Package: emacs21 Version: 21.4a+1-3etch1 Severity: wishlist
I am aware that emacs manuals have been removed from debian but am surprised that one does not exist even in the non-free repository. Is this policy ? If the GNU manuals are deemed so "non-free" that they can't even be put into the non-free repository of debian then it would at least be nice to provide some information on where one may obtain the precisely correct version of the manuals. For instance on debian etch emacs21 version is 21.4.1. In the gnu ftp repository (gnu/emacs) there is emacs-manual-21-2.8 and in (old-gnu/emacs) there are other such as emacs-manual-21-2.7 , emacs-manual-21.2.6 ... etc. It is not reasonable to expect that every user of debian is going to know (without a fair bit of googling or reading a bunch of readme files or looking at upstream source) which is the appropriate version of the manual for the installed emacs version. thomas -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.22.2 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages emacs21 depends on: ii emacs21-bin-common 21.4a+1-3etch1 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.8.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libungif4g 4.1.4-4 shared library for GIF images ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.5-2 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-14 Xaw3d widget set ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime emacs21 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
