Debian Color Themes, Galeon-Snapshot progress, orpahned packages
As announced before i'm suspending most of my Debian work.
(Due to me needing to spend more time on my math studies)
Here's a few last things i've completed:
- Debian Color Themes: I've made some color themes for GTK using Debian
colors. See my bug reports on gtk-engines-cleanice,
gtk-engines-cleanice2 and gtk2-engines-lighthouseblue - or download the
gtkrc files from http://people.debian.org/~erich/
(substitute s%_%/%! in the *gtkrc files and put them in /usr/share/themes)
I like these color themes a lot, and they give the Gnome UI a nice
Debian-Branded look, while being unobtrusive and fast.
No Debian-GNUBubble theme yet ;) (in fact i started one, but didn't get
the colors right...)
- galeon-snapshot: with the updated mozilla-snapshot packages (thanks
Takuo Kitame) i've been able to build updated galeon-snapshot packages.
They work _great_ here, and people are encouraged to try them and report
problems upstream. I've written down the difficult aspects of
maintaining the galeon-snapshot packages (until galeon2 is going to
replace galeon1 it's quite difficult to patch for parallel installation)
There's a team of three or four Debian Developers (some NM) forming, who
intend to further maintain galeon.
- Orphaning packages:
Today i orphaned "tux-aqfh" (a buggy game with no upstream development)
and "libming" (including "php4-ming", "libswf-perl") - a flash library
with stalled upstream development right now...
(also orphaned: "libming-fonts-openoffice")
Most of my other packages require only little work; already some people
said they would take them over; i therefore will not yet orphan them (or
should i?)
Maybe someone is interested in continuing these topics:
- http://people.debian.org/~erich/packagebrowser/
which is an export of the aptitude database to HTML; the scripts used
for generating these files are in my home directory on ppl.d.o
- http://people.debian.org/~erich/woody+1/
My Woody+1 wishlist, mentioned in the DWN sometime. Maybe someone could
pick up that list and just store it in some place more people could add
stuff to it (like some wiki maybe?)
- ttf-larabie: on http://people.debian.org/~erich/ttf-larabie/
are updated packages fixing some/most of the remaining bugs.
Unfortunately defoma is kind of broken; just try installing these
packages and defoma will (dependant on the defoma client installed)
take some hours to install the packages...
These fonts are quite nice and almost-free-as-in-freedom.
Gruss,
Erich Schubert
Please reply to me driectly, too, as i've already unsubscribed debian-devel!
