Re: Getting rid of wxwidgets2.6

At Paul Wise's suggestion, here is dd-list output for the packages affected by this change (excluding those whose maintainers have already responded). This list includes four packages I missed before - three because they build-depend on libwxgtk2.8-dev|libwxgtk2.6-dev (I only looked at run-time de

Re: apt-listbugs

Thank you, Francesco! Actually your mail convinced me that this should be discussed more widely. It's probably too early for a bugreport on the apt-listbugs because my original idea with using the "affects" field will not work as is (see below).

The size issue was brought up by the Ubuntu people IIRC in the context of their Live CD which should include usb_modeswitch. To clear up my position regarding some of the other points mentioned: * The upstream source package will offer two easy ways of installation (covering 1 2 3). The choice

Hi all, while upgrading the usb-modeswitch package to 1.2.0 [0] (currently in "beta"), I noticed that it is now embedding the "jimtcl" interpreter [1]: at build- time, the usb-modeswitch "dispatcher" (currently written in Tcl), can now be embedded in a binary that contains: a tailored jimtcl int
