Incorrect category for package: squeak in software-manager, it's programming tool, not an educational one

[Thibault Févry]

Package squeak is listed as an educational tool.

 Here's the description: Programming system and content development tools.

 For me that's more about programming than educational.

[Vish (vish)]

Right now, it is present both in developer tools and in education category.
Maybe someone who uses squeak can comment about whether it is educational or not?

[Vanessa Freudenberg (codefrau)]

Squeak is a development environment that has been used to implement educational tools like Etoys and Scratch. Squeak itself should be classified as "dev tool".

Is this something that needs to be fixed in Debian?

[Chris Wilson (notgary-deactivatedaccount)]

Branch attached with patch.

[Luke Faraone (lfaraone)]

Yes, this ideally should be fixed in Debian as well. In addition to a reupload, a bug should be filed against ftp.debian.org so the overrides file is corrected.

[Chris Wilson (notgary-deactivatedaccount)]

Isn't this the upstream source of Squeak? https://launchpad.net/squeak

[Vanessa Freudenberg (codefrau)]

Chris: no, that's an experiment by a single developer that was not adopted by the community.

[Chris Wilson (notgary-deactivatedaccount)]

Ok, thanks. I'll sort out the Debian report.

[Chris Wilson (notgary-deactivatedaccount)]

The upstream bug report has a patch attached to it.

I'm unsubscribing sponsors for now as there is nothing to sponsor here as of now

Please resubscribe when ready

Ubuntu changelog shows the 'Education' tag was dropped from the desktop file in 2015, version 1:4.10.2.2614-2 so closing as fixed.
