In addition, you should read this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/06/msg02031.html The short version is that the iceme and icepref packages are basically dead upstream and need to be superseded in unstable. A while back I expressed an interest in adopting iceme and icepref: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=227054 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=227077 My reason for adopting them was to turn them into dummy packages that only depended on the new icewmcp package I was going to make. For a number of reasons, I have not gotten around to doing it. One reason is that I was going to use icewmcp since I was going to setup IceWM on a number of older machines that were donated to my church. However, that wasn't going to work out and people were finding it difficult to use. I ended up configuring a LTSP server and using GNOME instead. Thus, I will likely not ever get around to it. If you proceed with this, please also examine icewmcp and see whether it or icecc is the better choice. Also, please hijack my two ITA bugs and provide a good upgrade path for the users out there that are still stuck on iceme and/or icepref. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
