fvwm95 is an ugly package and must die. Here's the rationale:
fvwm95 is a fork off a version of fvwm2 that was current sometime in 1995. That is, it's a fork off code that's over 10 years old. Upstream disappeared from the net sometime in 1997. There have been no upstream changes in over 9 years. fvwm95 is currently broken in a default etch setup because it can't handle utf-8 locales. It also was only changed the bare minimum necessary in the X11R6 -> X11R7 transition. The only way to make it work is with a plain en_US or C locale. (Well, other iso-latin-1 locales probably work too, and I've had reports that iso-latin-2 locales mostly work) I have no desire to maintain this package any more, and I have a moderately strong desire to see this package stripped from debian, as its presence is just ugly crud on the archive. Therefore, here's my proposal: I propose to write and maintain a set of configuration files for the current fvwm that cause fvwm to look and behave the way fvwm95 does now under a C locale. The fvwm95 package will be transitioned to this new package. Now, what do people think of this idea? -- Daniel Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message represents my own views, and not those of the Debian project or any current or past employer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
