distribution handling : a different approach
developers should list the flaws of a package in the control file,
the dpkg* utils should copy this list into the changes and the dsc file.
the decission, where to put the files should be made on master, not by
the single developers. this will give us much more flexiblity.
the flaws could be this :
orphaned no longer maintained
crippleware no real functionality
nocdrom restrictions to distribution
crypto subject of the US export restrictions
commercial not a free software : read licence for details
....
flaws should be listes in the control file like
Flaws: oprhaned crypto
what do you think ?
the names i used are not good, but the concept ?
regards, andreas
