Debian and Enlightenment packages
Hi
Some questions/thought criticism not very optimistic about Debian,
Enlightenment and EFL
I discovered that Debian maintainers highlight an outdated Enlightenment
page with an outdated version, the 18-RC2 dated December 2013 and
presented as "A new upstream release"
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/e17
http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/enlightenment-0.18.0-rc2.tar.gz
In fact, right Enlightenment download page is here , with more advanced
or stabilized packages:
http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/apps/enlightenment/
http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/apps/enlightenment/enlightenment-0.18.8.tar.gz
http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/apps/enlightenment/enlightenment-0.19.0.tar.gz
I don't really understand the process of Debian maintainers about
Enlightenment packaging. Or rather, I begin to think Enlightenment
doesn't interest many people or/and there is a lack of maintainers ...
In addition, a bug report 760038 subsequently canceled by its author
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760038#25
"Yesterday I did a year apt-get dist-upgrade for Jessie All which fixed
the problem."
[---> Funny, there was no upgrade E17 upgrade......! ]
led the Debian maintainers remove E17: "Marked for autoremoval on 12
October: 760,038" without rectify later
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/e17
I asked a question here enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net
about the obsolescence of the page
http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/
I got answer from Carsten Haitzler, lead developer of the Enlightenment
project :
"it's not a web page. it's just a director in the filesystem is
download.enlightenment.org - we are not the removal removing dir so as
to not break old
build scripts That May Rely on old releases fetching Where They Were. we
Moved
new releases to the rel / dir is download.enlightenment.org "
#Message end
It is therefore not a download page to use but it is presented as such
by Debian:
"A new upstream version is available: 0.18.0-rc2"
