New maintainer intending to package pavuk
Hi,
i'm going to try and package up pavuk. Pavuk is a url grabber that
supports Gopher, HTTP, and FTP. It's main UI is based off the console
however it does support a rather nice (if a bit buggy) X mode. The X mode
uses gtk or Xlib, i've worked with the gtk version and will recompile for
xlib after I write this. My question for you is how should I go about
packaging it? the console version works well (from what i've done with it)
and the gtk version dumps a few messages when you start a job but other than
that works pretty good. My first inclination was to build one that works
only on the console and make a seperate packages that provide the gtk and
xlib versions. But the Debian Policy says to simply build the packages
binary to support X and the console and require xlib6g. No problem with
xlib but I think requiring gtk as well is a problem. personaly i'm kinda
upset when a package that i'm only going to use on the console requires
xlibs. Suggestions?
pavuk URL is http://www.idata.sk/~ondrej/pavuk/
