Hello MOTU List. I'm writing on behalf of myself and Brandon Hale to request that the new rule about not allowing new packages into universe past the UVF be exempted for the purpose of including muine-shell in Dapper.
muine-shell is a small C program that can send requests to a running Muine instance to query its status or instruct it to perform certain commands. Its goal is to provide a low-overhead mechanism for allowing other programs and scripts to interact with Muine. The reason that muine-shell was not included earlier was because Ubuntu's upgrade to dbus 0.60 broke muine-shell (which was unmaintained at the time). I recently started maintaining muine-shell and have moved it to the new dbus API and made some changes appropriate for Muine 0.8.4 (which was also recently included in Dapper). It is because of these changes that I am now able to propose its inclusion. Because it's so small it's unlikely to contain fantastically large bugs and since it's only installed by those who want it it will have no effect at all on most users. The package has already received two ACKs on REVU (neither of which are from myself or Brandon). http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=2110 Thanks for your consideration + Cheers.
