Re: Package for Gnome2::Vte ?



Hello intrigeri,

I'd rather not add anything under the Gnome2::* namespace in Debian now.
Ok I understand.  Thanks for you answer.

The package we are trying to fork was also out of maintenance for a long time.  And indeed, as nobody ever tried to migrate it, it is now "dying".
Now that we are trying to take it over, we are a bit stuck and looking for solutions.

Ultimately, I believe it will be migrated out of GNOME2 ; this is the only way to give some future to the project.  But this will take time.   So (as an intermediate step while we are working on the migration) what are our options to deliver a fully functional package ?  Shall we deliver the Gnome2::Vte inside our own package ?  Should we simply provide instructions to install Gnome2::Vte from CPAN as a prerequisite of the package ?  Any other option I did not think about ?

What would be your advise ?

And if those questions are out of topic for this list, is there maybe someone you know who can have a quick look at this project and provide us some guidance to make sure we take the right decision ?

Many thanks in advance for your time and wise words.
