Package: x2x
Version: 1.27-6
I no longer have the time or the inclination to maintain x2x. I've just
fixed a quick imake bug and orphaned it. A previous NMU'er has helpfully
debhelperised the package for you.

I just rediscovered GramoFile, which was announced on c.o.l.a. a while
ago. It's a program for filtering the sound from a gramophone record
to make it suitable for recording onto a CD.
I've packaged it, and will upload it shortly unless I hear otherwise.

I'm now with you on this one. Given the sizes involved, I don't think we
even need to go to the trouble of generating the "top N levels" versions.
Using this would make it difficult to take symlinks into a
packages. The rest of the time it needn't be kept locally.

I've just looked over the DFSG again, and I can't see any restriction
against using an Obnoxious BSD Advertising Clause, so its presence does
not make the software non-free. Sorry for spreading FUD. However, I
think if you can, you should try to get the licence changed to be more
t us.
Including the OBSDAC would make Moxa non-free. Please educate them
about that, too, and suggest they use an XFree86-like licence rather
than this BSD-like one.
Thanks,

that uses it, it'll
depend on it; if you want to build against it, you install the -dev
package (which depends on it). The only time you really want to select
it by hand is when another package had faulty dependencies, or when
you're installing a non .deb'ed binary.
What do you think?
ually serious, by which I mean they don't usually affect
anything other than the game player's enjoyment. If they crash the
machine, it's the interpreter's fault, not the game's.
I'm not saying that anyone -should- keep their source secret (quite the
opposite), but i
her things.)
I haven't got a master account yet, so I can't upload them, but the
packages are at ftp://pcsw104b.ukc.ac.uk/pub/cpb4/> in case anyone
