Dear Sean, >1. Why do you have a folder full of patches, when you are the upstream >author of 4Pane? Have they been applied upstream, but there hasn't been >a release of 4Pane recently?
Yes. They are implementing your previous suggestions. There hasn't been a recent 4Pane release and, unless needed for debian packaging reasons, there won't be one soon. >DEP-3 has a patch header to indicate that >they have been merged upstream, if this is indeed the case. Thanks, I've now added 'upstream,' to the Origin: field. >2. I see that w.r.t. 4pane/4Pane, you're using 4Pane wherever Debian >policy permits you too. Good idea. The only thing I'm not sure about >is the symlink from /usr/share/doc/4Pane to /usr/share/doc/4pane/html. >It could be misleading, since Debian users expect /usr/share/doc/foo to >give them a folder containing a changelog, a Debian changelog etc. Why >not link to /usr/share/doc/4pane? IIUC the current situation is correct: the debian changelog etc files are in /usr/share/doc/4pane/ as expected, while the symlink from /usr/share/doc/4Pane to html/ allows the program to find its F1 help files (which can be accessed outside the program using a doc-base reader). If this is wrong please tell me. Regards, David Hart
