Hi all, My question is in the last paragraph of this email.
Progress note: I am working on a port of gnome-app-install to Debian. This utility, made by the folks at Canonical Inc. and Ubuntu, is like Synaptic, but ten times easier to use. It currently does the job but does not always quit after an install operation is finished. Known issues include internationalization, missing icons, the OK button and it currently fails if you try to install anything in non-free. (If you try it, it'd be great if you could let me know, either here or by email, whether the icons in the Popularity column look like little stars or little X-squares. You can install it using the following sources.list lines:) deb http://www.jspiro.com/files/debian experimental/ deb-src http://www.jspiro.com/files/debian experimental/ I am frustrated at the various bugs I'm seeing but I don't want to give up, as I want gnome-app-install to be in Debian. If you would like to finish packaging the app and take over maintainership, I'd be very glad to stop here and explain to you the changes I've made already. Now for my question: I am working from an upstream .tar.gz file from Ubuntu. The upstream tarball includes .pyc files too, not just .py files. My .diff.gz does not touch the .pyc files when applied to the upstream source. Will this be a problem when people try to apply the .diff? Thanks for being here to listen.
