Maybe a good way forward would be for someone to go through the 1.2M
patch and give a concise bullet list of all the changes that it makes.
Then we can have a bullet-by-bullet discussion about whether each is
appropriate or not, in the new FVWM. It seems that the FVWM Debian
package is suffering from some bitrot, where the Debian-specific parts
haven't always been modified to reflect enhancements in the base
package.
As an example I agree with Mikhael that there shouldn't be a system-wide
default fvwm config: Dan's excellent work to bring up a configurator for
new FVWM users shouldn't be hidden by years-old crusty configuration
files.
Let's get the list of changes, then we can all decide how to create the
best possible package for both Debian users and FVWM developers.
I've had a lot of good experiences with Manoj as the Debian maintainer
of GNU make so I feel confident we can work together just as amicably
for FVWM. For DEBs, even moreso than with RPMs, I don't think it's a
good idea to have two very different setups: it just doesn't make sense
in the Debian world. If we can get the "official" DEB setup, or very
close to it, into the FVWM release tarball that would be most excellent.
Should we move this discussion to the fvwm-workers list?
