Interesting that I have missed this the first time that you did this
work. Funny thing is that we are trying to get things related to
FreePascal into one team, so I invite you to have a look at pkg-pascal
on Alioth.
I'd be happy to maintain doublecmd and doublecmd-help packages as part
of the pkg-pascal team.
Furthermore, there is a package called tuxcmd, which is also a
twin-panel file manager and also written in FreePascal. doublecmd
wouldn't be a fork of that project (which has stalled upstream)?
I checked with upstream and doublecmd is not a fork of tuxcmd, but
rather a fork of Seksi Commander [1].
I believe the visual similarity of doublecmd and tuxcmd is simply due to
them both being inspired by Total Commander and Midnight Commander.
If upstream of doublecmd is really active, maybe we should drop tuxcmd
altogether (it is orphaned). If we do, maybe we could help people
migrate in the next release by handling this properly.
Would/could we do this even if doublecmd is not a fork of tuxcmd?
Could you investigate (if you have the time of course) if tuxcmd has
features that are still lacking in doublecmd?
Is this still required, seeing that doublecmd is not a fork of tuxcmd?
