Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tortoisehg
Hello,
I use the stable-snapshots ppa of tortoisehg and got a huge surprise
today when hgtk disappeared. Typing hgtk at the bash shell produces
he program 'hgtk' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install tortoisehg
and after some frustrated attempts at reinstalling tortoisehg and
wasting like 15 minutes trying to find hgtk, I finally realized that
tortoisehg has abandoned the gtk version for a qt version.
If the plan is to eventually do the same in the main ubuntu repository,
I suggest an improved upgrade path. At least one of the following.
- Change the package name to something like tortoisehgqt.
- Keep the package name, but provide a symbolic link from hgtk to thg
- Add a shell script for hgtk does nothing but prints a message like you should
use thg.
- Make sure the hgtk command in bash does not tell the user to install the
tortoisehg package.
At the bare minimum, you need to do the last option.
PS: Why does the tortoisehg package still depend on python-gtk2? Does
thg use both gtk and qt?
