Dillow in in danger being removed from debian

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575240

This is mostly due to RC bugs (grace, serious, important) listed in:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=dillo;dist=unstabl

The current Debian maintainer does not seem to repond any longer, so I could offer my help to keep the package in Debian:

Would you take a look at the Debian bug listing and see their Could be solved or if they already are in latest version?

Thanks for any help, Jari

I'd be happy if dillo1 is removed from Debian:

* It's full of bugs (+ i18n's patch bugs) * Uses GTK1 (this misleads developers, packagers and distros to think that dillo is still a GTK1-based project). * When people hear about dillo, or find our website, they try a simple 'apt-get dillo' and get the wrong picture. Then they find out it haven't had patches in years <-> dead project. Who would like to put his effort into that project? * It states that is not the official dillo and that dillo.org developers should not be bothered with its bugs (my request at the time), but this chains the question: why did the trusty Debian maintainers chose the unnoficial version? There must be problems with the official on * Dillo1 has been unmaintained for years.

Then I'd be even happier if we can get dillo/fltk-1.3 into Debian, in the short term.

I guess it's easier by first removing dillo1 and then pushing dillo2, but don't know about Debian policies.

I'd answer Jari along the above lines, CC'ing dillo-dev.

What do you guys think?

I fully agree

*agrees*
