This looks straightforward enough to sponsor. I wonder about the name though. debpkg (so installing into /usr/bin/debpkg then?) sounds like dpkg to anyone not already very familiar with Debian, but performs a completely different function. Will Debian ftpmasters consider that as part of their management of the filesystem namespace, and if they ask for a change, would this end up with a divergence in Ubuntu accidentally?
Is there an overlap with gdebi(1) here, which perhaps could be enhanced to also support URLs? For the above two reasons I'm unwilling to sponsor ahead of Debian, but this is a weak opinion and I have no objection to someone else doing it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2136905 Title: [needs-packaging] debpkg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2136905/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
