| In this form, there are troubles with building (due to the original
| tarball being missing), so I've got to carry out these steps instead:
|
| gbp-clone git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/emelfm2.git
| cd emelfm2.git
| git branch pristine-tar origin/pristine-tar
| git-buildpackage -us -uc
|
| This assumes one has git-buildpackage installed (which I think is
| required to build this package anyway).
| I've just built it for Squeeze, and everywhing went OK so far.
|
| By the way, Jari, are there any news about this package?
| Both links from regarding the status of this package in NEW mentioned
| earlier in this thread do not mention emelfm2, and neither does
| http://package.debian.org search engine knows about it, so I'm confused.
After discussing with Debian FTP masters, they notified that the
package is on hold. They require the image sources to be packaged
within the emelfm2, although it is already packaged separately in:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/emelfm2-svg-icons
This would effectively make emelfm2 a multi-tarball source which the
developer has to build by hand every time new release appears. I don't
know if FTP masters requirement even implies building the PNGs and
SVGs out of that image source ball; it is not supported in the current
state of emelfm2.
I'd like to express my thanks to Ricardo, whose help in here has been very
essential in this long process.
Unfortunately I no more have time to continue to work with this. A new
prospective developer is free to take over.
Thanks,
Jari
