Obviously, since this is no big distro (yet!), the number of packages
that needs to be maintained by gNewSense should be kept at a minimum.
I am also for adding IceWeasel, and perhaps gnash, and taking out
Firefox. Ubuntu carries no IceWeasel debs. Does Debian maintain a Free
IceWeasel package? If so, is this something we could copy/steal/hog in
some way? ;)
yes, of course and really like you say it just a matter of one person
to download the src make the changes we agree upon on and make a .deb
package. one package or lets say 10 packages on gnewsense to maintain
is not a big thing for a start..
(On that note, would a "hack", like adding firefox-bin symlinks
pointing to the iceweasel binary to the package be acceptable? Any
other program which then wants firefox specifically, gets IceWeasel
instead. It's not extremely "nice", but it would probably work well
enough).
I agree with this only in part... I don't think it will be nice of us to
just point it to the package.. instead will be much
better to give a pop up msg or some kind of... "since you decided to use
a completly free software distribution of the GNU/Linux system, we have
done bla, bla, bla, and consider you will agree with us to use bla bla
bla.. etc"
that will be a bit much nicer.. if we just point them to another program
when they expecting something else looks weird :-) is like are trying to
dictate them what they should use with out even telling them. just my
opinion.
If it's not a lot of work, I might volunteer to maintain it. But I'll
need to learn a thing or two about creating deb packages, then.
Amazingly, in all the time I've used Debian, I never got around to
doing that. :)
creating .deb packages ir very simple, search for the debian new
maintainers guide.

Hi Chris,
It seems that I was not obvious enough ;-)
how?
(that was the whole point of my mail)
Cheers
