Hi,

could anyone tell me what the difference between scribus and scribus-ng is?
According to the description scribus-ng is the development branch but scribus
itself is a later rc than -ng. Besides it appears to me that the package(s)
could need a little bit of love.

Presumably 1.4 is reaching the stable status, so scribus gets 1.4, and
scribus-ng will get 1.5-ish later?

Mraw,

So both are essentially the same package right now? I find it rather confusing
to have two different names and, at least in sid, a stable version newer than
the development next generation one.

I'm imagining that this is a hack that was added before experimental
existed and that dev versions of scribus should go to experimental
now.

If I remember right scribus-ng was in development for a loooongish time while it
was in such a bugfree condition that it could be used without problems at all.
But its a long time ago that I looked into the differences and talked with the
maintainer about it.

In the (relatively recent) past Scribus have had features in its
unstable branch that was beneficial to use for some projects even if
less stable - e.g. without promise of being able to open files later on
which was saved using such version.

So scribus-ng has been beneficial to be available _alongside_ the stable
one, at least for two users of Debian (my girlfriend and me).


I would expect that to be the case for the next round of unstable
development too, and would appreciate keeping both branches.
