Hiya,
I've just spend an afternoon 'housekeeping' the debian package. I hope
to upload 1.1.1 into unstable soon.
If there are any debian users watching, I'd appreciate it if you
tested out the packages on
http://people.debian.org/~jules
There are a few issues I'd like the balsa developers to have a think
about for me:
1) Bug at http://bugs.debian.org/57524 -- forwarding doesn't forward
attachments. I vaguely remember us discussing this before, I don't
recall the resolution. Is there a preferences option (I couldn't see
one).
2) If you look at http://bugs.debian.org/57523 you'll at the bottom a
patch by Martin Schulze which fixed several bugs, and added a few new
features. I was going to try to understand how this relates to 1.1.1,
but I don't have time now this evening. If someone else would, I'd be
grateful.
3) There are still problems with the help directory:
a) db2html seems to look in the wrong place for stylesheets. I've
installed the gnome-doc-tools package from
http://people.redhat.com/dcm/software.html
or rather, a slightly newer version by eliot landrum, and it installs
the stylesheets in /usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/dsssl/gnome-doc-tools,
whereas the balsa stuff seems to be looking for it in docbook-gnome.
I find this all very confusing. I plan to upload the gnome-doc-tools
package along with balsa: maybe someone here understands where it
should put things. Or I'll ask on the GDP list.
b) That notwithstanding (I made it work locally with a symlink) I have
the problem that make distclean doesn't do what it should in the help/
subdir. I.e. a pristine tarball, unpack, build, make distclean
doesn't take you bake to where you started. Which is should!
Hope someone can help with some of those,
Jules
