Because: gwolf@lactop:/tmp/bonsai-1.3+cvs20060111/debian$ grep use.*File bonsai.postinst use File::Find; The postinst is a Perl file. > >> use Debconf::Client::ConfModule ':all'; > > Provided by debconf, which is Priority: required > > Which doesn't help. You need to depend on all packages you use and can > only leave essential: yes packages out. You are right on this one, it should be added to the depends. Still, I am not familiar with this package - If it provides functionality not provided by other packages, yes, it should at least be marked as belonging to QA and set as Orphaned. We have, however: $ apt-cache search web cvs bonsai - The Mozilla CVS query tool by web interface chora2 - code repository viewing component for horde framework config-manager - manage directories with Arch, CVS, HTTP, FTP and/or Subversion cvstrac - Low-ceremony bug tracker for medium-sized projects under CVS cvsweb - CGI interface to your CVS repository darcs-server - a cgi script for browsing darcs repositories on the web gforge-theme-starterpack - Collaborative development tool - theme package libwww-mediawiki-client-perl - simple CVS-like interface for editing MediaWiki websites python-biopython - Python library for bioinformatics texlive-latex-extra - TeX Live: LaTeX supplementary packages vcsweb - HTTP interface to VCS-controlled repositories viewcvs - view CVS Repositories via HTTP viewcvs-query - view CVS (viewcvs-query.cgi) At least, Chora2, Cvsweb, Vcsweb and Viewcvs look quite similar in purpose. Why should we keep Bonsai? Greetings, -- Gunnar Wolf - gwolf@gwolf.org - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF
