I would like to move following packages from Base:System there (then changedevelrequest) - less - pinfo - lsof
Really? Why not keep them in Base:System? (at least less and lsof)
Because I think they are rather "utilities" than "base system" :) If you think Base:System is better place, I'm fine with that - in that case, just decline the requests / delete utilities/less.
Hm.. we might have a need to clarify the difference between Base:System and utilities then, because I'm still a bit confused -- but maybe that's just me :)))
I think your definition of utilities is fine: <quote> Supposedly "small" command-line utilities that don't really fit any other category (server, monitoring, web, irc, ...) </quote> This itself does not differentiate it from Base:System - I think it is best to decide on case-by-case basis which project is better.
[*] ack is also in your list. I checked the differences between Contrib/ack and your version - the Contrib (originally based on your package) is newer (git snapshot) and has a patch to ignore .osc files. If it goes to Factory, I think it should be stable version (1.92), so I suggest you to submit your package and will add stuff from Contrib/ack later.
Ok, I already moved ack from my home to utilities, and I'll merge the patch from Contrib myself later tonight.
Cool, thanks.
Oh, and ack depends on perl-File-Next, which is not in Factory. I will update the package in devel:languages:perl and submit to Factory.
I made a _link from devel:languages:perl to utilities as well.
It is on its way to Factory already. So we can later delete the link.
[**] Your calcurse package looks better, so let's just submit your version to Factory (FWIW I could be (co)maintainer if needed) and delete the one from Contrib.
Ok, I moved it from my home to utilities, and added you as a maintainer.
Thx. Regards, Petr -- Petr Uzel IRC: ptr_uzl @ freenode
