That is the major difference we would have had vs debian if they had used xfce.mk, but definitely not the only advantage. For instance had it not been xfce.mk, that call to langpack handling should have been taken out from 20+ packages instead of the class. The conciseness and clarity of the rules file is the really big one. Luckily xfce related tarballs are sane enough that no features have to be used in packaging that require the more powerful and more complicated debhelper. > Xubuntu is now in universe, the translations aren't managed anymore in > Rosetta, and thus we don't need langpack.mk anymore (xfce.mk also calls not translated anymore in rosetta or just not split out on upload? Not being translated in rosetta is ok too, since upstream does it anyway and it's duplicated work. Anyway if debian xfce simplify and unify their rules file across packages that's great, I do not care much which solution is used as long as it reduces the boring merges and leaves that time for other thing, since I do not plan on touching the packages soon :) Jani -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
