I hope to keep the > package and provide for this in debian for a long time I see you've found "feh" already which I would have proposed as very slim image viewer. ;-) > The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: > - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sxiv > - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable > main contrib non-free > - dget > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sxiv/sxiv_0.8.2-1.dsc Comments are: - all upstream copyright still has old FSF address - Your installation of the manpage does break upstream's logic to write the version number into the manpage. I would consider installing the manpages like upstream proposes the preferred approach. So IMHO your patch should be removed (and the sxiv.manpages file in debian/) - The upstream manpage however still has two hyphen-used-as-minus-sign issues: usr/share/man/man1/sxiv.1.gz:79 usr/share/man/man1/sxiv.1.gz:239 > I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. I've taken the liberty to remove your patch, build, sign and upload your package. For your info the package is at http://people.debian.org/~kilian/sxiv/ as was uploaded. Thanks for your work! -- Best regards, Kilian
