No. Debian stable gets only security-updates. As a service backports.org, provides backports from testing/unstable packages in a half-officially mannor. That is where I will upload it as soon as it enters unstable (backports.org does only backport official (as in accepted) Debian packages), just as I did it with wmii before. Point your Debian stable users to backports.org. > I suppose you mean the version you packaged? Yep. However, the decision to keep 9base, include rc-shell of 9base into the wmii package, or even use the original rc-shell is something I will decide after wmii-3 is released. > Just to clarify, the original rc shell is included in 9base, > instead the rc-shell[3] from Byron Rakitzis is not(!) the original > rc shell.

By including rc into wmii package, I ment to just put the binary into the wmii binary package itselfs (and omit therefore all other 9base tools completely). > This is also because we plan to depend on mk from > 9base in the future, to get rid of the nasty incompliances among > different make implementations (GNU, BSD, Sun, whatever). dooh.. and in a year, you shipp your own kernel? *kidding* > If there are any good reasons to modify the structure of 9base > to get better acceptance due packaging it, let me know. It is acceptable, but I and others really doubt the usefullnes of having a bunch of coreutils-alternatives as depends just for a window manager. > If the static linkage is unwanted, no problem, it is > just an option in 9base/config.mk to uncomment.
