Bug in last release is fixed in CVS - what to do?
I packaged ROX-Filer (http://rox.sf.net/). Some time ago version 2.0.0 was released as stable so I changed few things in packaging. Now I have 3 packages: 1. rox - "stable release only" version of ROX-Filer 2. rox-snapshot - CVS snapshot of development version 3. rox-filer-hrw - rox-snapshot with few extra patches (some of them will not be applied by upstream). Some time ago there was a bug which renders program unusable in current 'sid' - it was fixed in CVS version so packages other then "rox" are free from it. But not "rox" :( which is used by some people. What I should do now? 1. I can just integrate "rox-snapshot" into "rox" so this will be "always" up-to-date with bugfixes. 2. Do some "cvs update" to "rox" to have this one bug fixed. 3. Create patch from CVS and apply it to ROX-Filer 2.0.0 sources. Which method is more Debian way? -- APT: deb http://www.hrw.one.pl/apt/ sid/

ROX-Filer - a simple graphical file manager for X11
At now I don't request for sponsor (yet) but want someone to look at this package - it is lintian & linda clean but maybe there are some errors or Debian Policy violations. At now it also depends on one package from 'experimental' (shared-mime-info packaged by Filip Van Raemdonck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). I took over this package from Jan Wagemakers (non Debian Developer AFAIK) few months ago. It is APT-able from my respository: deb http://users.stone.pl/szczepan/ apt/ deb-src http://users.stone.pl/szczepan/ apt/ There are some more packages but this is my favorite one :) More info: Package name: rox Version : 1.3.7 License : GNU Public Licence Upstream Author : Thomas Leonard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Upstream URL: http://rox.sf.net/ Package URL : http://users.stone.pl/szczepan/ apt/ NM status : none GPG key ID : ED1F 99E1 45B0 ABE9 17E9 0ED1 B31F F326 F0E6 5735 Description : a simple graphical file manager for X11 Long description: ROX-Filer is a simple and easy to use graphical file manager for X11, the windowing system used on Unix and Unix-like operating systems.
