Bug#143084: Debian ROX-Filer packages
I got your address from bugs.debian.org reports about ROX-Filer (as in
CC:)
ROX-Filer is packaged by few persons in few different styles, with
miscelanous things patched etc.
Jan Wagemakers started the whole thing, but his packages aren't
lintian compliant (those /usr/apps etc.).
Filip Van Raemdonck started patching, changing ROX-Filer in so many
ways that it not the same program ;) And (based on his APT respository)
all of it is based on 1.2.x version.
Few months ago (before even had a look at Filip's packages) I got
Jan's package and started to make it more Debianish - but I was using
CVS version of ROX-Filer (packaged as rox-cvs). I added few patches
which removes APP_DIR related problem, moved all to /usr/share/rox/,
/usr/share/doc/rox-cvs/ directories and then go Filip way - removed some
functionality (which I found rather disturbing). Also I added some third
party patches mainly taken from rox-devel mailing list.
With 1.3.3 release I packaged this release also but not said much
about it - now I'm thinking about making it just simple, plain ROX-Filer
with only minimum of patches applied (only those which Debianish it) -
but I will wait to 1.3.4 release with it.
But let's go to conclusion:
I'm not Debian developer (yet - maybe some day I'll start applying to
be) so my packages are 'unofficial', non-Debian. Maybe some day they
will be 'official' on ROX HomePage (I talked about it with Jan some days
ago).
Second thing is - what part of ROX-Filer functionality which I removed
in my package you want to have in it:
- using Appicon.xpm as DirIcon if there is no .DirIcon
- starting dir/AppRun just by click on dir folder icon
And one more thing: Are you using ROX-Filer? And if yes - which
packages :))
