Some of the arguments for removal of gnome-pilot from the default distribution are a bit odd:
"PalmOS is no longer even supported by Palm" -- Take a look at: http://www.palm.com/us/products/phones/ Palm are still selling palmOS based devices. They will be supported for quite a while yet, and used for many more after that. "PalmOS is a meaningless feature over here in Poland" -- I guess you left out "for me" from that sentence. "From the launchpad page, it appears development upstream has stopped. The last major version released was 2.0.15 on 2006-12-19." -- gnome-pilot 2.0.16 was released in February 2008, gnome-pilot 2.0.17 was released in January 2009. I've mailed the Ubuntu ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com as I guess the maintainer didn't pick up on the new release. "A Palm Pilot is not an essential piece of your computer's hardware." -- To many people, being able to sync calendar and contacts with your phone IS absolutely an essential feature of a desktop. The package is useful for a bunch of people, including users new to Ubuntu who are delighted to find they can sync their phone with their desktop out-of-the-box. Compared to getting my Nokia to sync, where the Ubuntu forum page currently runs to 28 pages, PalmOS was a total breeze. The dpkg is 200k. -- Remove gnome-pilot from Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334446 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
