Bug#582090: ITP: viewnior -- simple, fast and elegant image viewer
I spend some time to analyze the diff between the 2 versions of gtkimageview, and, even after removing the renaming diff, the changes are not so trivial. Considering that gtkimageview upstream was not modified since 1 year (viewnor's author could probably include the last fixes himself) , and that the version in viewnor is more than a copy/paste (patches, renaming, and only a part of gtkimageview is forked), I don't think it's so problematic to package it with the forked gtkimageview. Considering the time we have to maintain viewnor, packaging a modified version will probably end to an incomplete version, with some bugs we will not be able to fix. I'm not sure it's a good solution for Debian to add this type of application in the repositories.

But I don't know if Debian would like/accept that as an approach. Jonathan

Great thank you :) I'll try to isolate the changes on gtkimageview copy (the remaining bugs are certainly due to this difference). Many changes seem to be only due to the rename, maybe the actual diff is not so big.
