  • Bug#894551: ITP: fascism -- Exhaustive exploration of Fascist theor

    From Ben Finney@21:1/5 to Enrico Zini on Tue Apr 3 01:00:01 2018

    * Package name : fascism
    Version : 19190323

    Should we be carrying such an old version in Debian? There are much more
    modern versions available in 2018.

    Though I do acknowledge the large number of forks since 1919, that makes
    it difficult to select a representative version today.

    ...At least, coherent with Debian policy, different versions are not co-installable (as are libraries in Npm, Pypy, Ruby Gems, PHP
    Composer, etc.)

    Even short description (*you* wiped) talks about complete theory.

    A theory is always installable, moreover that's a documentation package of theory with non-compliant parts.

    So, even sources would never be issueds from a complete theory of fascism, as it needs a totally incomplete view to be implemented.
