We posted a proposal for modifying dpkg to better cope with directory aliasing. After an initial period of silence, the discussion took off, but was mostly diverted to a competing proposal by Luca Boccassi: Do not change dpkg at all, but still move all files affected by aliasing to their canonical location and thus removing the bad effects of aliasing. We facilitated this discussion and performed extensive analysis of this and competing proposals highlighting resulting problems and proposing solutions or workarounds. We performed a detailed analysis of how aliasing affects usage of dpkg-divert, dpkg-statoverride and update-alternatives. Details are available on the debian-dpkg mailinglist thread.

=> ↺ Charles Plessy: Upvote to patch Firefox to render Markdown
I previously wrote that when Firefox receives a file whose media type is text/markdown, it prompts the user to download it, whereas other browsers display rendered results.
Now it is possible to upvote a proposal on connect.mozilla.org asking that Firefox renders Markdown by default.
