Package: couchdb
Version: 0.11.0-2.3
Followup-For: Bug #573061

Hi, I just wanted to make sure it's known that this change is
useful for some of us who are not interested in gwibber too.

I tried gwibber on debian unstable, and it was amazingly buggy.

I've been experimenting with desktopcouch, and made some fun little
scripts, using curl, python-couchdb, and node.js (with the
node-cradle plugin.) I've now got my e-mail lookup script (a mutt
callback) and my timetracking database in desktopcouch.

It's a bummer that installing desktopcouch auto-starts a system
couchdb server, as it is unlikely to be used by someone installing
desktopcouch or something (like the new gwibber) that uses
desktopcouch.

I'm assuming that the/a point of this wishlist/bug is to fix this.
Sorry if I'm wrong and barking up the wrong tree.

Oh, also a progress update would be lovely, if you have a sec. No
rush.


Thank you,    - Jason
