Note that DWN simply picks up new packages; maintainers aren't asked whether they want them advertised or not. An initial teleport package has been in unstable for two days; use it with the normal caveats which apply to unstable. > Woohoo! Moving the Emacs*) between work and home, is that really > possible? Not until the GTK Emacs uses libdisplaymigration (or supports the relevant protocol by another method) - GTK doesn't currently include support for the protocol directly. > Hmm, no (Debian) docs. Indeed. Why do you assume that there would be Debian-specific documents? Something noting the current lack of widespread support for the display migration protocol could be useful, but hasn't yet been written - however, that might more usefully go into the man page. > Hmm, no info pages. Indeed. Why do you assume there would be info documents? If you prefer the info interface to man's, then running 'info teleport' would get you the man page in the info reader. I suspect you'd save time on Debian systems by looking for man pages before other possible forms of documentation. > Hmm, useless manpage. > > Hmm, --help does not display help, nor does -h. Do you usually feed programmes random options not included in their man pages? The man page is correct in not listing them. At the moment (upstream) teleport simply ignores options which it doesn't understand, including these. Please file bugs rather than ranting on debian-devel. The upstream source is buggy, but does work to allow testing of libdisplaymigration on different systems. -- Moray
