So I screwed up in packaging, and going directly from bo my fvwm95 for hamm won't upgrade. Ooops; I made a mistake - this happens. (People upgrading from a previous hamm version did fine - I really thought I'd tested this, but apparently not thoroughly enough) Ok, so after the hamm release I g

The proper locations of .xbm icons

1998-05-31 Thread Daniel Martin at cush
What, exactly, is the proper location for .xbm and .xpm icons? I ask because I had just been putting the fvwm95 icons in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps - but I notice that other packages place icons in a variety of places: usr/X11R6/icons usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmap (Almost certainly a typo

Advice on whether/how to close a bug

1998-05-16 Thread Daniel Martin at cush
There's an annoying bug in fvwm95 that I'd like to close (actually, there are several, but the rest are for another day). Here's the bug - if one installs fvwm95 but does not install the "menu" package, then fvwm95 uses the menu derived from the example fvwm95rc provided in the upstream source (ra

Where do orphaned packages go when you pick them up?

1998-05-04 Thread Daniel Martin at cush
I am the (new) maintainer of tkdesk and am (finally) getting around to packaging it up (blame my end of term exams). My question is: where should this go? It'd be a shame for hamm not to have tkdesk; however, at the time hamm was declared "frozen", tkdesk was not in it, but in project/orphaned.

How do I move things around?

What's the procedure for moving something that's been uploaded into unstable into frozen? Whom do I contact and what information do I need to give them? Do I then send out a debian-*-changes message? I uploaded something into unstable but have been convinced that it belongs in frozen. Should I

Where is the order of versions specified?

1998-04-13 Thread Daniel Martin at cush
I know I read this at one point, and I _think_ I remember most of it correctly, but which doc. describes how dpkg compares version numbers? I think that in the case of tkdesk I may have to use epochs (the upstream authors have 1.0-beta-1 through 1.0-beta-5 coming before 1.0-pre-1, which comes befor

I have just been approved as a Debian maintainer (as in, I've been told I'll get my master account and subscription to debian-private tomorrow) and I've gotten fvwm95. Now, whether you may know it or not, fvwm95 has had a truly ugly configuration up untill now, because of a bug in FvwmTaskBar. (W

What exactly is the order of steps to becoming a new maintainer?

1998-04-03 Thread Daniel Martin at cush
After looking at the most recent WNPP list, I decided that there were packages (specifically, fvwm95 and tkdesk) that I would be willing to maintain, so I then read the documentation on www.debian.org on applying to become a maintainer. However, after reading that documentation and what the WNPP h
