ryanakcaWhoever last merged a package made all of the changes inline. Is it better to lug around inline patches or can I add quilt to debian/control and manage them there?01:23
micahgryanakca: if debian doesn't have a patch system, then it's better to make them inline to make the delta smaller01:24
ScottKryanakca: If Debian doesn't have a patch system, don't add one.01:24

vishhi ,this package was just brought to my attention: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pornview  , the app name probably might be a bit wonky , not sure if is this allowed in Ubuntu ?21:01
RhondaThe app name is really a bit disturbing, but the program itself is a quite decent image viewer from what I've heard.21:03
vishwhat can be done here? are we allowed to rename it.. ?21:04
RhondaThere was once this sex package.21:05
* Rhonda . o O ( Simple Editor for X )21:05
shadeslayerafaik we still have to make a transitional package for the new package name21:05
vishRhonda: purity-off  ?21:07
vishhrmm , we have odd packages!21:07
RhondaSure, there is more things to be found that people might be offended by. I'm though not sure wether this crusade really would gain much positive outcome.21:08
Laneywhy shouldn't it be allowed? plenty of things are potentially offensive21:08
Rhondavish: For an interesting approach to a not totally unrelated issue you might want to read a recent thread on debian-devel. Or not.21:09
Laneyabout that license?21:10
RhondaDepending on your opinion you might consider it highly entertaining, weirdly disturbing or offensive.21:10
RhondaYes, the one about the Waqf GPL21:10
vishLaney: i believe such names are not allowed according to CoC..  Not sure , thats why I'm asking here ;)21:10
LaneyI didn't know the CoC applied to packages21:10
Laney... or Debian maintainers21:10
Rhondavish: The packages aren't guided by the CoC.21:11
maco2the "hotbabe" package was removed for being offensive, wasnt it?21:11
RhondaNo.21:11
RhondaIt never was _accepted_, to start off with.21:11
maco2oh21:11
RhondaAlso, it was said to be rejected for being too buggy.21:11
* Rhonda . o O ( ftp master tried everthing he can but the picture didn't change in the way it was meant to )21:12
maco2haha21:12
Rhonda… that's the inofficial reason for the reject, mind you. :)21:12

micahgari-tczew: good, it's a week after alpha 3 :)21:37
ari-tczewmicahg: even if you won't fix it before FF, I think that it can get into ubuntu due to fix FTBFS21:39
micahgari-tczew: current version in Ubuntu shouldn't be FTBFS21:40
ari-tczewmicahg: right, current no. Debian's FTBFs.21:41
micahgari-tczew: right, so I have to fix the FTBFS to merge :)21:42

ScottKvish: I don't think mpt has any special powers to rename packages.21:53
ScottKIf we remove every package that might offend someone from the archive, then a LOT of stuff will have to go.21:53
vishScottK: nah , i didnt mean special powers , just that he *might* be more interested in fixing that ;)  [he is vacation so i dont really know if he wants to either :)]21:54
ScottKvish: There's nothing to fix.21:54
maco2i think the only thing thatd have the package renamed is if the software itself was renamed21:55
vishScottK: oh , so such names are allowed?  There was a comment questioning the availability of this package in SC. so i'm checking how this exists21:55
vishfwiw , purity-off seems more wonky than this one! ;)21:56
ScottKvish: Why would they not be allowed?  What rule would you suggest be imposed?21:56
vishScottK: I dont know .. hence the doubt. Seemed like something in CoC mentions language of members , but dont know about packages21:57
ScottKvish: If someone proposed it for default install, then I think it'd be reasonable to apply some filters on the content, but I don't think there's anything in the CoC that would make it reasonable to remove stuff from the archive.  People are free to ignore stuff  they don't like.21:59
