Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.23 Severity: normal I see that most Suggests: got promoted to Recommends:. I understand and support the move in general. But devscripts-el has also been promoted and I don't see what part of devscripts relies on devscripts-el to be available.
I understand it the other way, it provides nice helper tools for people who use emacs and devscripts. Thus it's not required for devscripts to work and Recommends is inappropriate... in particular when the installation of devscripts-el means installation of "emacs22" for a non-emacs user. Those people do aptitude install devscripts-el and get devscripts installed together... Please drop devscripts-el back to Suggests:. Also in the alternative for VCS, you might want to put subversion first as it's the most popular VCS used on Alioth right now. So people without any VCS, would get svn installed by default and would have access to the biggest set of source repositories. -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- DEBRELEASE_UPLOADER=dput DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC=changelog DEBCHANGE_MULTIMAINT_MERGE=yes DEBCHANGE_PRESERVE=yes DEBUILD_LINTIAN_OPTS="--color always -I" -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.28.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg-dev 1.14.18 package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.5-6 The GNU sed stream editor Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.10.1 Delayed job execution and batch pr ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-2 A simple mail user agent ii build-essential 11.3 informational list of build-essent ii bzr 1.3-1 easy to use distributed version co ii curl 7.18.0-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii cvs 1:1.12.13-10 Concurrent Versions System ii cvs-buildpackage 5.21 A set of Debian package scripts fo ii dctrl-tools 2.12 Command-line tools to process Debi ii debian-keyring 2007.12.04 GnuPG (and obsolete PGP) keys of D ii debian-maintainers 1.26 GPG keys of Debian maintainers pn devscripts-el <none> (no description available) ii dput 0.9.2.30 Debian package upload tool ii dupload 2.6.3.3 utility to upload Debian packages ii elinks [www-browse 0.11.3-5 Advanced text-mode WWW browser ii epiphany-gecko [ww 2.20.3-1.1 Intuitive GNOME web browser - Geck ii equivs 2.0.7-0.1 Circumvent Debian package dependen ii fakeroot 1.9.4 Gives a fake root environment ii galeon [www-browse 2.0.4-1 GNOME web browser for advanced use ii git-core 1:1.5.4.5-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii gnupg 1.4.6-2.1 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii gnuplot 4.2.2-1 A command-line driven interactive ii iceape-browser [ww 1.1.9-1 Iceape Navigator (Internet browser ii iceweasel [www-bro 2.0.0.13-1 lightweight web browser based on M ii libauthen-sasl-per 2.10-1.1 Authen::SASL - SASL Authentication ii libcrypt-ssleay-pe 0.57-1 Support for https protocol in LWP ii libfile-desktopent 0.04-0.1 Perl module to handle freedesktop ii libparse-debcontro 2.005-2 Easy OO parsing of Debian control- ii libsoap-lite-perl 0.71-2 Client and server side SOAP implem ii libterm-size-perl 0.2-4 Perl extension for retrieving term ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii libwww-perl 5.808-1 WWW client/server library for Perl ii links [www-browser 2.1pre33-1 Web browser running in text mode ii lintian 1.23.46 Debian package checker ii lsb-release 3.2-7 Linux Standard Base version report ii lynx [www-browser] 2.8.6-2 Text-mode WWW Browser ii mailx 1:20071201-2 Transitional package for mailx ren ii man-db 2.5.1-3 on-line manual pager ii mutt 1.5.17+20080114-1 text-based mailreader supporting M ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii patchutils 0.2.31-4 Utilities to work with patches ii perl [libdigest-md 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii ssh 1:4.7p1-8 secure shell client and server (me ii strace 4.5.15-1.2 A system call tracer ii subversion 1.4.6dfsg1-2 Advanced version control system ii tla 1.3.5+dfsg-9.1 GNU Arch revision control system ii unzip 5.52-11 De-archiver for .zip files ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.1-5.1+b1 WWW browsable pager with excellent ii wdiff 0.5-17 Compares two files word by word ii wget 1.11.1-1 retrieves files from the web -- no debconf information -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
