Debian experimental package pending upload

2005-05-02 Thread Chad Walstrom
In response to the Request For Package (RFP) #280209, [1]_ I've hacked up a quick codeville package. The diff is attached. There are some debian-legal matters concerning Open Source License v2.0 (and even v2.1), so it'll probably end up in non-free (not that I agree with these legal banterings

Overly terse answers (and your previous dismissals of questions as trivial despite attempts to explain why they are non-trivial) do not reassure anyone that you are capable of packaging a critical system component, especially in an ambitiously different way. I'm reassured.
