Great, it looks good. The PPA is up and running. [1] Since the Ubuntu
binaries are hopelessly outdated, it would be nice to have the PPA
listed on emelfm2.net.

For those running Ubuntu and reading this post, it would be great if
you could provide some feedback regarding these packages.

Cheers
Liviu

Build-Depends: libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.6), imagemagick,
debhelper (>= 7), quilt (>= 0.46-7~), libmagic-dev, libgtkspell-dev
(>= 2.0.14), udisks, libdbus-glib-1-dev, libacl1-dev
Does anything look strange to you? I'm also hesitating: is 'udisks' a
build-time requirement, or is it only needed at run-time?
Runtime only.
 Depends: libacl1 (>= 2.2.11-1), libc6 (>= 2.4), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4),
libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.23.5), libgtk2.0-0 (>=
2.20.0), libgtkspell0 (>= 2.0.15), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.18.0),
libmagic1
 Recommends: libbz2-1.0 | liblzo2-2, grep (>= 2.5.3), sed (>= 4.1.5),
udisks, policykit-1
 Suggests: tracker-utils
Again, does anything seem queer to you? I'm specifically thinking of
'tracker-utils': even though it's not needed at build-time, does emel
still interact with it at run-time? Should I Suggest or Recommend
'tracker-utils' when building with WITH_TRACKER=1?
Yes to both.
MAKEOPTS = \
 WITH_KERNELFAM=1 \
 NEW_COMMAND=1 \
 EDITOR_SPELLCHECK=1 \
 WITH_LATEST=1 \
 WITH_THUMBS=1 WITH_THUMBLIB=0 \
 WITH_TRACKER=1 \
 WITH_ACL=1 \
 WITH_POLKIT=1 \
 WITH_UDISKS=1
Are these sensible default for a modern Linux distro? Specifically,
Is WITH_KERNELFAM=1 and USE_INOTIFY=1 the preferred file polling method?
Yes
Is WITH_UDISKS=1 preferred over WITH_HAL=1?
Yes. HAL is deprecated, sooner or later distros will omit it.
Regards
Tom

I would gladly do so, but I cannot retrieve a user name/e-mail
combination to retrieve password, nor I am able to identify the
'register' web address. When I click 'login' Opera simply pops-up a
'login' box, and I cannot find a 'register' link anywhere.

Please advise

The user-registration mechanism is normally disabled, in order to block registration by tons of spammers.

It's now temporarily back on, so anyone wanting to create an account, please do so soon.

Done. I also cleaned up the Ubuntu section, removing the wildly
outdated Ubuntu&emelFM2 combinations. I also updated the Ubuntu entry
on the home page.
