I was at the "Hacking Thursday" of the "Shanghai Linux User Group", and I was trying to show "Billy Zhe-Wei", a Taiwanese living in Shanghai, how he could package his application in Debian, and why he needed to fill an ITP. Unfortunately, his laptop couldn't connect to the WiFi there (for a weird reason that we didn't find out). So I used the "--email=" of reportbug on my laptop, but as I have set DEBFULLNAME in my environment, and I dind't use --realname=, so my name went in, instead of his. That's just a mistake I did, which I didn't see, because in the editor, you have the Owner: field that is correct (see the deceptive text below). > Are you the upstream author? Billy Zhe-Wei Lin 林哲瑋 <billy3...@gmail.com> is the upstream author.

This is exactly what I told Zhe-Wei tonight when reading his short description. When I first saw his python GUI, I thought it was a replacement for the "Ubuntu software center" in a way faster. It seems I was wrong, but I discovered it after sending the ITP with him. What his package does is things like downloading unofficial packages at once with wget, and some dpkg -i of the .deb. He showed me some examples with some fonts packages. Now that I understand this, I think it's a bit silly, as packages should go in Debian directly, and we have dependencies if we wish to pull more than one package at a time. It could still be cool for non-free stuff though. And I think that his tool can do a lot more (it does a lot of scripting). Note that this is just a kind mentoring process, as Zhe-Wei is really willing to learn. So please do not care too much about this. :) Thomas Goirand (zigo) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
