Re: Gnome-Bt should be removed from applications menu
Emilio Pozuelo Monfort ha scritto: I don't think this is justified. If you don't like it, you can edit the menus with alacarte and remove that entry. But the fact that you don't use it doesn't mean we should remove it (we could if there was a better reason, but I don't think that is one) Cheers, Emilio Fully agreed. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
Re: Gnome-Bt should be removed from applications menu
Matthew East ha scritto: Hi, I don't think it is particularly appropriate to assert that this change is *unjustified* with that emphasis. That's just your opinion. I take care of Gnome-bt in both Debian and Ubuntu and looking the removal of its desktop entry from a maintainer-view looks pretty *unjustified* and really *not-needed* as Emilio pointed out in his latest mail. In fact, the proposal (and the justification) has been accepted by the Ubuntu developers for some time - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MenusRevisited. If Gnome-BT has reappeared, it seems to me that this is a regression. Matthew, Do you have a good motivation to have the Gnome-bt entry removed from there (apart from that outdated wiki page last modified on 2005)? Or do you think diverging the two packages (from Debian and Ubuntu) is the right way to go here? (I would like to remind you upstream directly ships Gnome-bt's entry on its orig tarball) -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
Re: Proposing Transmission BitTorrent client as default
Flávio Martins ha scritto: - There is however the transmission-cli package which provides a console client. I guess this is not really needed... we have some other packages available to be used from the command line. (ctorrent for instance) Do you know if anybody is looking at the launchpad bugs for this one? The MOTU-P2P takes care of every P2P-related package, so feel free to jump in if you wanna help out. (e.g with transmission) I would like to create a good cooperation with the transmission maintainers from Debian having the package synced at every revision pop-up as gnome-bt does at the moment. Do you think is possible? Plus is Debian active in maintaining this package? -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
Re: Proposing Transmission BitTorrent client as default
Jo-Erlend Schinstad ha scritto: One question I can't find an answer to in this discussion, is why we want to have gnome-btdownload. Maybe because it fits fine into the GNOME Desktop? Maybe because it's easy and simple to use, it doesn't have tons of different configurations and does the work for a newbie, who just joined Ubuntu (e.g right click on a torrent and the trick is done). I would like to remember you that the torrent protocol is not well-known and usually a great number of people prefer to use other applications like Amule and so on. What do you think?

Re: Proposing Transmission BitTorrent client as default
Jo-Erlend Schinstad ha scritto: I then asked in #Ubuntu-OffTopic how people felt about replacing gnone-btdownload, and the response was a unanimous yes. Not nice to hear from a Gnome-bt's maintainer but anyway some of the points you reported above can be considered fair enough.
