I saw bioFOX there.
I have renamed yesterday my RFP of bioFOX to an ITP.
This is the best way to learn about the sense of tagging ITP bugs to RFP. ;-)
I'd suggest to find out who of you both (Adrian or you) wants to continue
the packaging of biofox / mozilla-firefox-biofox (BTW, I like the later name
more even if the first one is catchier the long version tells more about
the package and has some kind of consistency with other firefox plugins).
There is even the chance of group maintaining (Uploaders field in debian/control)
but I guess for this kind of simple package this would make no sense.
I didn't release it because I am not on my machine (I hate to say that, but I am using a Windows machine here, from my father... ahhhh), so I couldn't test it.
There are two solutions here:
The coward solution:
Use any LiveCD (Knoppix, Ubuntu, ...)
The brave solution:
Just install Debian on this box and see whether your father notices
the change. ;-)
I did so with my fathers box ...
There is a Linda warning too, that I don't know how to override:
$ linda -i biofox_1.0.1-1_all.deb
W: biofox; File /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions/{fbfbf0bf-032e-427e-932d-0b000a34f168}/chrome/biofox.jar contained in /usr/lib of Architecture: all package.
The file shown above is installed into /usr/lib, but the package that
contains it is a architecture-independent package. This file should be
installed into /usr/share instead.
Well, if you don't know how to override you might like to have a look into
/usr/share/lintian/overrides and find a set of examples. But I guess you do
not really want to override this but solve it instead. There are also two ways:
The quick and simple solution:
Move the file in question to usr/share/<pkgname> and place a symlink to the
intended final location.
The real and hard solution:
Talk to packagers of other mozilla-firefox extensions and mozilla firefox
to start a mozilla policy which complies whith FHS.
I would advise the quick solution for the moment. On the other hand I wonder
why this lintian warning does not occure at my system with mozilla-firefox-locale-de-de
which suffers from the same problem.
Also, bioFOX is released under MPL/GLP/LGPL and not Artistic.
This should definitely be fixed.
Until there, you could take a look on both packages and take the better from both! ;-)
When I return (tuesday), we can talk more about bioFOX, OK? :-)
The best thing would be if you both agree in private about how to proceed and
find a final name for the package. Once this is solved I will look at it again.
Kind regards
Andreas.
