Thanks for picking this up and for your work on it. Just a few comments: 0 - There's a priority mismatch, you should change it to extra to match the override file. 1 - You should move to a newer debhelper version, v4 is really old at this point. 2 - It doesn't look like it'd take too much to accomodate #475049 -- just a quick change and the writing of a short manpage. See if you can do this. 3 - It seems to me that some of the patches currently in debian/patches went upstream a while ago. It might be worthwhile packaging a newer CVS snapshot and using that. 4 - Also, it would be better to forward these patches to upstream (if they're still alive). Otherwise, it looks good and if you fix 0,1,2 I'd be happy to sponsor it. --Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
