Bug#932909: RFS: xchroot/2.7.4-7 [ITP] -- extended chroot with X11/Xorg forwarding
Xchroot v2.7.4 has been newly packaged by me. It is a new and greatly
improved version of xchroot since 2.3.4. For more details see the ITP
bug #1010523.
Download the new package with dget:
dget -xu
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xchroot/xchroot_2.7.4-7.dsc
The package contains an offline copy of the site
https://www.elstel.org/xchroot/ as a bonus. As the doc-sources are
needed in addition to the .tar for the program itself I have decided to
pack the sources and the offline copy of the web page into the
Debian-src.tar.gz. This is a non standard way to do it but the
alternative would have been to go for two source .tar.gz-s which is
currently experimental and not well supported in Debian. We have decided
to do it the easy way. There is also a patch of the upstream author in
the src.tar.gz which is however going to be incorporated into the next
published upstream version. AFAIK there are also upstream patches in the
gcc package.
I am looking forward to find a mentor for this package and I am ready
to apply any necessary changes for this package to be acquired by Debian.
