Bug#832941: RFS: 4pane (debian: to exclusive)



Dear David,

1. Why do you have a folder full of patches, when you are the upstream
author of 4Pane?  Have they been applied upstream, but there hasn't been
a release of 4Pane recently?  DEP-3 has a patch header to indicate that
they have been merged upstream, if this is indeed the case.

2. I see that w.r.t. 4pane/4Pane, you're using 4Pane wherever Debian
policy permits you too.  Good idea.  The only thing I'm not sure about
is the symlink from /usr/share/doc/4Pane to /usr/share/doc/4pane/html.
It could be misleading, since Debian users expect /usr/share/doc/foo to
give them a folder containing a changelog, a Debian changelog etc.  Why
not link to /usr/share/doc/4pane?

Okay.

No.

You should look up the definitions of the Vcs-* fields in Debian policy :)
