reopen 521448 ! retitle gammu: gnapplet.sis requires packages which are not in our archive stop
Justification: Policy 2.2 This email is to reopen bug 521448. As I understand the close message, while gammu's source does contain source code for gnapplet.sis, it requires "packages which are not in our archive at all for compilation". That's given in debian-policy section 2.2.2 as an example of something which should be in the contrib section of the archive network, so this seems still a problem. A split package would be better than pointing users upstream, IMO. The section of debian-policy is http://www.fr.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-contrib The email discussion of gammu's gnapplet.sis and a similar case starts at http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2009/03/msg00127.html It finished with:- Francesco Poli <f...@firenze.linux.it> wrote: > On Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:33:59 +0100 MJ Ray wrote: > > Francesco Poli wrote: > > > It seems to me that bug #521448 is an attempt to report this [...] > > Reopen and retitle?
