[pkg-fso-maint] nodm upload (was Re: [Debian] How can I start the phone application?)

[Luca Capello]

Hi there!

Please, no flame: I am sure I have missed something about this fact, so
discuss the technical matters only.

Not cc:ing the smartphones-userland@ mailing list: since the following
are internal issues.

The official repository above misses at least one commit (the
s/pkg-fso/unstable/ one).  I guess Enrico simply forgot to push his
latest changes ;-)

Three more comments:

1) nodm is now a Debian native package, something I do not really like
   since IMHO the idea should be to spread it outside Debian as well
   (AFAIK there are no other similar tools).

2) I do not care who is listed in the Maintainers:/Uploaders: field, but
   since the Debian FSO team is its primary user and in order to avoid
   situation like the one happened (the package was uploaded/accepted
   into main but AFAIK the pkg-fso-maint@ mailing list was not
   notified), I would do as any other pkg-fso package, i.e. Maintainers:
   is the mailing list and Uploaders: the people working on it.

3) the following is a minor issue, but I think anyone here knows I am
   sort of a maniac...  I am not really happy with the fact that nodm
   contains references to zhone-session in both debian/changelog as well
   as the Git repository.  I agree that this gives a sort of continuum,
   but at the same time nodm is now a complete different implementation
   (for example, written in C instead of shell) and no more specific to
   the FR.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
