Hi Olivier, [CCing my response to the list, hope you don't mind]

Here's one from the CVS: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/freefont/sfd/FreeMono.sfd?revision=1.226&root=freefont >> * In lebiniou-data, I'm loving the images!

If you're sure they are homemade or CC, that's fine. The ones which immediately stuck as being potentially non-free were: * UNIX "live free or die" plate * Eye in the pyramid logo * Possibly the Cthulhu hazard sign (which I love) * Matrix code (this could be generated, though) If these have attributions, though, that's no problem. > As far as I was tought, section 6 was for "games, and everything related, > that does not fit within sections 1..3". lebiniou, IMHO, is not a > "general command" > one would include, for example, in a shell script > > Back to the origins, yes, it was a .1, but I decided to go to .6 since this is > not a (usefull) command. Arguments on this are welcomed :) FHS says, man1: "Most program documentation that a user will need to use is located here." man6: "This chapter documents games, demos, and generally trivial programs. Different people have various notions about how essential this is." Personally I'd leave it in section 1 unless the package's section is also set to 'games'. Which I wouldn't recommend ;) >> * I would prefer to have sequences.tar.gz installed unpacked, as it's >> very small. No big deal though. > > Do you mean, shipping it as a plain .tar ? Doable. Ah, when I wrote that I meant to have the entire tree unpacked under /usr/share/doc/lebinou/examples/sequences or similar. However, after posting my message I looked at the manual and you describe unpacking that tarball to your home directory, so I figured your motivation was that unpacking a tarball is easier for users than 'cp -a' or whatever. So leave it as it is. >> * The program didn't seem to detect audio from Rhythmbox out of the box, >> presumably as it was trying to use the alsa plugin where rhythmbox uses >> pulseaudio.
