I'll package it for Mageia; no matter what stop energy people produce on LWN and elsewhere.

Good. I'm sure Mageia users will be happy to have more tools at their disposition. What I'm also sure is that they will appreciate an explanation of what this thing is good for (besides displaying spinning hypercubes). As far as I can tell, it's just a front-end to connect to remote systems or run virtual machines. Why I would want a unified front-end for that is beyond me.

Not sure what your point is.

What it does? The spec file indeed contains a %description and that is used in Mageia for all packages.

Somehow objections to Boxes? If you honestly suggests that we'll (Mageia) get questions only about one specific application: I think I live in a different world than yours :P
