No, this is what xlock should do. xautolock, despite of its name, does
not know it will run a lock program. xautolock is a gene

There is now a dpkg-dev package with the stuff needed for
developers. "policy" and "programmer" manuals are available.
Syrus.

Thanks for making your version of lynx-2.6 available it certainly has some nice
features.
I saw in the last FAQ that the current lynx maintainer is looking for a
person to take over maintenance of the package. Are you interested?

Hi Joost --
I think there may be 2 reasons why you can't find the package containing
the guidelines:
1. "Guidelines" doesn't exist any more. It has evolved into the policy manual
and the programmer manual, and
2. The P&P manuals aren't in a package (that I could find). They are

Package: xview-clients
Version: 3.2p1.2-1
The "Save workspace" internal command of olwm requires
olwplaces (which often uses xtoolwait). olwplaces and
xtoolwait are not available in the package.
The installation script does not add olwm to
/etc/X11/window-managers.

Greetings,
I've prepared two binary packages from one "Source: slang" package:
slang0.99.34 - A C programming library for user interfaces - shared library
slang0.99.34-dev - A C programming library for user interfaces - development
kit
I wanted to set the following Section and Priority:

I have put my new slang packages on
ftp://ftp.netaxs.com/people/cjf/debian or
http://www.netaxs.com/~cjf/debian.
The only reason I havn't put them on master yet is the questions I
just posted regarding Section and Priority fields. Everything else
about the package has been as well tested as I can
I'd like to take the a2ps package if its maintainer does not plan to
maintain it anymore: I have patches to make it work with libpaper that
I'd like to see in the Debian version.

I hate to add to the growing number of orphaned packages, but I
currently barely (if even that) have time to maintain the packages I'm
really interested in. As a result, I'm officially putting up for
adoption the packages I took over on an interim basis much too long
ago when they were originally
