Hi Didier and Till, I've uploaded to mentors a new version of splix. The changes are: - move to the lates svn snapshot - copy fixed splix.ppd-updater from Ubuntu - add conditional apport hook for Ubuntu and derivatives - add get-orig-source target - used dpkg-buildflags to import hardening flags - bumped Standards-Version
I'd be glad if you could review the upload and give me some comments. Didier, I'd be glad to move splix packaging under team maintenance, possibly under git. Maybe we can talk about it in private mail or on a list, so we do not fill this bug with unrelated stuff? Cheers, Luca P.S. mentors seems a bit slow in accepting my upload, but I'm hopeful that it will appear in the next few hours.
