La Salle Debain
Open Source @ Consolidated Braincells Inc.
This is a weblog I'm keeping about my work on Debian and any other useful Debian related info I come across. It is not meant to compete with other news sources like Debian Weekly News or Debian Planet. Mostly it is just a way for me to classify and remember all the random bits of information that I have floating around me. I thought maybe by using a blog it could be of some use to others too. Btw. "I" refers to Jaldhar H. Vyas, Debian developer for over 8 years. If you want to know more about me, my home page is here.
The name? Debain is a very common misspelling of Debian and la salle de bains means bathroom in French.
If you have a comment to make on something you read here, feel free to write to me at jaldhar@debian.org.

Well it's in NEW anyway. It should arrive in unstable in a few days once the ftpmasters process it. For those who don't know SeaMonkey is the latest incarnation of the erstwhile Mozilla Internet suite. Apart from a web browser, it includes an email and Usenet reader, an HTML editor, and IRC client.
It's a big complex piece of software and I would like to get a packaging team going to look after it. My current work is available in SVN. There are a huge number of lintian errors most of which are probably bogus but still need to to be looked at. I'm sure there are other improvements that could be made too. If you would like to help, please contact me
In light of some of the FUD that's going around I should mention that this package was made possible by support from the good people of Linspire
Update: Ow the package was rejected. Apparently you're supposed to fix the huge list of packaging bugs before it gets distributed to millions of people. Back to the drawing board.
Update 2: SeaMonkey SeaMonkey SeaMonkey
