Speaking on behalf of the tiny Bulgarian GNUstep community I would like to ask you (and RMs as well) not to remove GNUstep from Debian -- this would be a substantial loss for all interested users and contributors. Since GNUstep is broken due to #314385 for more than a month I have stalled all my pending tasks and cannot even imagine what will hapen if it is removed from Debian. Compiling from CVS is not an option and installing the Debian packages is the most convenient and pleasant way for almost everybody, at least everybody I've been able to speak with. If FHS compliancy is compulsory, then probably there are two options: * Ask the RMs/QA for an exception due to GNUstep's nature * Ask the upstream developers (who are currently busy with improving GNUstep on proprietary platforms) to change the filesystem layout -- since it is vital for GNUstep to run solidly and reliably on a GNU system, such as Debian (I am CC-ing Anton Zinoviev, who was planning to make some hacks on the filesystem regarding localisation) -- Yavor Doganov Free Software Association - Bulgaria GNUstep Bulgarian Translation Project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
