Yes, the projects are now uploaded on mentors.debian.net as separate source packages, namely iwtan-gui (which produces the binary package iwtan-gui) and libiwtan (which produces libiwtan-dev and libiwtan0). Michael raised the problem of the correctness of having two separate source files (as i did) instead of one (as he proposed). I'm waiting for more opinions on that :) Marco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
