Hi Alexander. I have created a trival Debian repository. The relevant line for your sources.list is:
deb-src http://www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/files/debiansrc / At the moment I am working through some problems with image generation using latex2html, which is the first step towards building the documentation from a common TeX source. I also expect that by the time I have solved this I will have build a new source package against a new upstream version which I'm currently beta testing. If you could hold off uploading until I confirm that all is ready, at which point a final check of the package may be required. Thanks for the help, Tez On 9/7/05, Alexander List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Terry Burton wrote: > > >New files available at > >http://www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/files/debiansrc. > > > Seems pretty OK now. > > >I would prefer not to have to regenerate the documentation from TeX > >for the timebeing since it relies on TeX modules that are not yet part > >of Debian.
