You can call lintian with --info flag. Also, as far as I'm aware /var/cache/urbanterror-data is already removed after successful package installation and configuration. I removed the -data package with dpkg --purge because I didn't have enough free space and in this case the /var/cache/urbanterror-data was kept. I'm not fan of the -data package because it needs a lot of free space and for most of the user it will be long to install. During this process, all the apt-get upgrade a blocked. I wonder if it's not a better solution to provide a script in the urbanterror package that download urbanterror files. For example a wrapper for the urbanterror command that check for the data files and suggest to download the file if needed. Cheers, Gonéri

Newlines in debconf template descriptions
Hi, I want to include a newline after the help text for each command line option of ifplugd (actually ifplugd --help) in the template Description for ifplugd/args. debconf-updatepo seems to concatenate these as one single paragraph, which is not neat and hence #471178. I can do a --skip-pot and update the po/templates.pot manually when I modify the templates (not very often), that would solve the bug, but is this the best way to go about it? I also don't know what the best way is to have a frontend display newlines (not new-stanzas).

Re: RFS: QTM - Qt4 blogging client
There was an error in the debian/rules file. I temporarely hardcoded: rm -f obj-i486-linux-gnu/qtm.1.gz And forgot to change it to: rm -f $(DEB_BUILDDIR)/qtm.1.gz However, I felt it will be better to use simple-patchsys.mk instead and patch CMakeLists.txt to remove .gz before generating it. So now here's a corrected version: http://kadu.net/~patryk/qtm/qtm_0.5.8.2-1.dsc http://kadu.net/~patryk/qtm/qtm_0.5.8.2-1.diff.gz http://kadu.net/~patryk/qtm/qtm_0.5.8.2.orig.tar.gz -- Patryk Cisek signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Please don't do this. :( * There is plently of prior art in including large -data packages for games (nexuiz-data, for example). * It's unfair on people with low bandwidth or no internet access, especially as it won't even appear on Debian DVDs. * It bypasses existing mirroring setups, such as local mirrors or APT caches: If I host a LAN party, my local Debian mirror can provide most of the games we want to play at ~50MiB/s. However, if a game package was merely a wrapper, my guests would then start to--perhaps concurrently-- downloading large files from the internet at a relatively awful speed. It would, of course, be possible to provide a means of supplying the file manually instead of downloading, but this is really awkward, and is no better than just providing the .deb of the -data package.
