I am suggesting RFPing ingen and Orphaning om so as to put the kind of

In this sense I understand your reasoning. I'll orphan om. However I won't
file a RFP for ingen, as I don't plan on using it, if anyone else plans to
use it, they should file a RFP :)
Yep, fair enough. :)
That is
the outcome I'd like I guess. I'm hoping it would be apparent that in
fact it is ingen that needs the work, with om being replaced with a
dummy package for upgrade purposes. It may be that there is a more
straightforward way of doing this.
If om gets kicked out of the archive, ingen could very easially have a
Provides: om
line, which has mostly the same effect as a dummy package. Dummy packages are
best avoided if not really needed.
Surely this would only pull in om/ingen if another package depends on
it. The only app that might fall into that category would be Smack drum
machine, which is not packaged AFAIK. (? I may be confused about this ?)
The one major reservation to all this is that I'm guessing, due to om's
low popcon rating and lack of bug-reports, that I'm the only person who
actually cares about this application and that only because it might be
useful in theory. In which case I might as well build ingen from source
and forget about it.
I guess it makes sense if you would RFP it. I checked the source and it seems
not a trivial package to package.
OK, I'll submit an RFP
cheers,
tim
