Description:
In the recently updated package for bitlbee in extra, an initscript is provided for the daemon mode of bitlbee, which is nowadays considered stable by upstream. I think that xinetd should not be anymore in depends, because it is, as a consequence, possible to run bitlbee as a standalone daemon without any issue. For people who for some reason prefer to use it through xinetd, xinetd should be perhaps listed as an optional dependency. Additional info: * package version(s): 1.2.3-1 |
This task depends upon

Perhaps also the install message is slightly confusing: in
particular "for now"; I do not think that the ways to run bitlbee
are going to change again in the next future.

I would prefer the package to be built using the bitlbee daemon,
if its considered stable from upstream and not depend to xinetd at
all.

The package already allows daemon mode, so I do not think the
package needs to be built in a different way, it is only a matter
of deps

The attached patch should solve this.
