Well, it seems better than the previous version. Just two things: - I recommend to use a "clean" debian/rules , I mean without so many comments (you can check my debian/rules file of my 'aget' package.) - Be aware with the lintian warnings. (pim: menu-icon-has-bad-colors /usr/share/pixmaps/pim.xpm) I Hope somebody could sponsor this program (I cannot, im not DD). Cheers, Bruno. -- Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
