Hmm, yes, I hadn't considered that. I currently maintain the package in git in Debian, but even git might have a bit of trouble merging the patch... Maybe we could add both patches in parallel, and use the series.ubuntu in Source format 3.0 (quilt) to get it to work out? > If it's needless fear (and I'm not familiar with packaging, there is high > possibility that I'm wrong), I have no disagree with merge 02_/03_ patches. > >> I noticed that aptdaemon is packaged in Debian.

Maybe we could add a Python wrapper script thing that uses python-aptdaemon to implement the stuff needed. Then we can sync this over. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840292 Title: uses synaptic to install samba which is not on the CD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus-share/+bug/840292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
