Hi everyone, I think it would be nice to get gnome-exe-thumbnailer 0.9.4 in before Debian Stretch freezes. However, I'm still not sure where the source code should go in the long term - a standalone repository on GitHub would be better than mixing it with old Winezeug sources.
If it's okay with everyone, I can create a new g-e-t repository later today and add everyone's commit access. Right now, my separated 0.9.4 source is just sitting in a different branch in the packaging repository :) Best, James On 18/03/16 03:25 PM, Scott Ritchie wrote: > I think we moved Winezeug to github since Google Code got deprecated. > > By all means I'd be perfectly happy with debian wine party taking over > this package and Ubuntu inheriting it the old fashioned way.
