which policy rules does it violate exactly?
The list of unfinished or even not yet started *official* packaging:
- CipUX. The current state with a long post installation howto is
hard to handle. It's even worse if you generate software that depends
on a CipUX with at least a working base configuration. No flame
at Jonas here, he does a good job - it's simply a complex task.
- LINBO. Really hard to package as it seems with having a custom kernel
and using Qt Embedded.
- italc-rlp. Yes, it depends on CipUX (we have the same problem with
Catweasel when it comes to packaging) otherwise it's mere patch that adds
some menu items, matching functions and removes some buttons that didn't
work in our tests. Keeps coding style and dependencies and does only add,
not change functionality (I'm rewriting it as a patch atm).
I can't see the problem, honestly. But let's hear about the policy
violations.
- ADRIANE - I would say about the same difficulty level as LINBO.
- Catweasel. It depends on CipUX rpcd and waits for a brave packager too.
Ubuntu (+flavor) is a good, solid distribution, why not work with these
people if there is a packager ready for the job?
And yes, all the other distributions are fine too but -> topic.
Thanks,
Martin
