Thanks, I appreciate that. I must admit, however, that I feel alienated by pkg-js-tools and don't use those tools, but edit files in the debian subdirectory by hand. Let's take this "add-node-component" tool as an example...: I find the name unintuitive, and feel that it pollutes the global namespace. What I would find intuitive was to type "pkg-js" and hit TAB to see which tools was available, and if that provided nothing then I would try "pkg" + TAB in case the tools used some other concatenating character than dash. pkg-kde-tools is structured like that, and pkg-perl-tools is structured somewhat like that (it contains one tool "dpt" arguably confusingly named and a few general-purpose tools). Even if you told me that a tool exists to add embed components in packages, how would I find that? It is not mentioned in long description of the package, so won't show if I search for it with apt, apt-cache search, axi-cache search, or other similar tools. Ok, so you tell me that it is called "add-node-component" and I locate with "apt-file search" which package it belong to and installs it - how to use it? "man add-node-component" has an unusable NAME section (i.e. keywords for command "apropos"), DESCRIPTION section does not really describe what the tool does, only the syntax of the non-option argument to the tool. Sorry, it sounds like a rant but isn't so much: I simply skip using those tools because I feel alienated by them - I am sharing my impression in case it might inspire to improve, and if not then I am fine continuing to not use those tools (and maybe you then prioritize other tasks than making the tools fit my unusual packaging style). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
