only to let you know: I built some Debian packages of the stable release 2.2.1 today which can be found at:
Looks as it the binary package is statically linked against FLTK 2 which is not part of the source package nor in the build-dependencies, i.e. it must be installed manually to be able to build the package. Ugly, but understable.
FLTK 2 never was in Debian mainly because first it had a non-free license, and when that was fixed it became deprecated.
Yes, we worked on the license issue with the FLTK team...
Being an alpha-version was way less the problem. Such things can go into Debian Experimental and often also do.
Sure, and policy was the main obstacle for all distros. (absolutely understandable to my taste).
[...] After doing that I saw, that Axel Beckert just built packages of dillo3 for experimental.
Yep, did that at DebCamp between the timestamp of the 2.2.1 ChangeLog (17.7., see http://hg.dillo.org/dillo/file/tip/ChangeLog) and when it was uploaded (26.7. according to http://www.dillo.org/download/). So the release of 2.2.1 was new to me. (I really should subscribe to the Dillo ML. :-)
Or you can subscribe to freshmeat for the announcements. (and avoid the mailing-list traffic).
I packaged Dillo 3 as that's the only Dillo version which currently compiles in Debian, i.e. with all build-dependencies available in Debian.
So hopefully Dillo will return to Debian in near future.
As soon as Dillo 3 has been released I plan to upload it to unstable, too. FLTK 1.3 is in unstable only for a few weeks yet, too, as the final release happened there just recently, too. It was in experimental for half a year or so before.
Good! We have dillo-3.0 scheduled for release in August. (BTW, fltk-1.3 already made it into squeeze). Thanks for the update. -- Cheers Jorge.-
