Bug Description

Binary package hint: create-resources

Create resources says in its description: "The Create Project provides shared resources for use by creative
applications such as Blender, CinePaint, the GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Audacity and the Open Clip Art Library."

It actually only includes resources for use with graphics programs. It consists of brushes, gradients, patterns and swatches. None of this is any use to someone using audacity. It is also hard to see how the open clip art library is an application.

I think this is a bit like keyword spamming. I don't know if it is any use for blender and cinepaint. Mostly it seems to be gimp brushes. Can inkscape and scribus use any of this?

I think as a minimum audacity needs to be removed from the description. I think ideally we should check to see if all the listed programs can use this content too. Otherwise this package is just promoting itself when people search for audacity etc.

Inkscape is certainly configured to make use of palettes from /usr/share/create. Not sure about the others

I've removed Audacity from the package description, as this package contains no audio files.

This bug was fixed in the package create-resources - 0.1.3-4

---------------
create-resources (0.1.3-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/0001-add_name_header_to_GIMP_palettes.patch
    - Several of the swatches in the create-resources package do not contain
      a "Name: " header. This causes problems for Inkscape (see LP #780659),
      because it uses the contents of the "Name: " header to label its
      palette menu (Closes: #626419, LP: #781350).
  * Improve long description (LP: #389136):
    - It actually only includes resources for use with graphics programs.
      Plus, Open Clip Art gallery is not an application.
  * Remove unuseful substvar ${shlibs:Depends}.
  * debian/rules:
    - Purge extra COPYING,INSTALL files.
    - Don't purge SConscript~ files, to avoid introducing changes into the
      sources tree.
  * debian/copyright: Update to DEP-5 to rev.174.
  * Bump Standards.
