VNC Client for the GNOME Desktop

Packaging.

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Fernando has packaged vinagre's main dependency (gtk-vnc library), and it's awaiting for review:
http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=181

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

gtk-vnc is already uploaded :)

vinagre's main page has been moved to http://www.gnome.org/projects/vinagre

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Spoke too early :(

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Why the addition of the package should get considered:
It will replace vncviewer in gutsy+1 :)

Seriously, this is a vnc client well integrated to GNOME, and i hope it will get in GNOME 2.22.

Fernando has packaged vinagre and its main dependency, gtk-vnc widget:

I think this should wait for Gutsy + 1 then. Please consider offering a preview package in an LP PPA.

gtk-vnc and vinagre already in my ppa

Marked as 'fix committed' to get it onto http://daniel.holba.ch/sponsoring/ and up for review.

Unsubscribing motu-uvf team.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Do you have a separate bug open for gtk-vnc; if not, please open it - I have a bunch of comments for that package.

 - I'd personally add '.' at each of the lines of the description.
 - Please add the year of copyright to debian/copyright
 - debian/docs not necessary
 - why do you need python-central?
 - dpkg-source: error: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but Maintainer: does not have Ubuntu address
 - minor: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/vinagre

Any luck here, guys?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Has my +1. Needs a second ACK.

Also Depends on bug 139371 - so might be more of a gutsy+1 material.

I've sponsored the upload, the package is in hardy now

[Philipp Kern (pkern)]

Thanks for only uploading this to Ubuntu and not getting this into Hardy via Debian. The package quality is impressing:

* Do we really use XSBC-Original-Maintainer when a package hasn't Debian as its origin?
* I don't see any connection of the maintainer stated to the Debian GNOME maintainers as stated in the uploaders section of the source package.
* The description is really arkward.
* The maintainer doesn't know about dh_installdocs.
* The manual page is a joke, it's at most a stub to silence lintian. At least he does know about dh_installman, or not.

[Philipp Kern (pkern)]

Uh, and what I missed: I did not see an archived entry on revu for this. That one should really have gone through the usual reviewing process.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Nice comments, that really encourage Ubuntu do contribute to Debian. Looks like that you should learn about cdbs though
