Bug#832941: RFS: 4pane (debian: to exclusive)
Dear Sean,
>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?
Yes. They are implementing your previous suggestions. There hasn't been a
recent 4Pane release and, unless needed for debian packaging reasons, there
won't be one soon.
>DEP-3 has a patch header to indicate that
>they have been merged upstream, if this is indeed the case.
Thanks, I've now added 'upstream,' to the Origin: field.

IIUC the current situation is correct: the debian changelog etc files are in
/usr/share/doc/4pane/ as expected, while the symlink from /usr/share/doc/4Pane
to html/ allows the program to find its F1 help files (which can be accessed
outside the program using a doc-base reader).
If this is wrong please tell me.
Regards,
David Hart
