Hi Andrew, First of all, I want to mention that I've received a mail from one of MathJax developers where he was asking me to split the fonts package out. I will do that, so please don't upload mathjax now. The discussion is available at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/12/.

Which way would you prefer: - getting the tarball from github directly; - cloning the git repo and then building the archive manually? Both are a bit tricky, and neither provides an easy way to get the upstream version (which should be A.B+YYYYMMDD). Will it be OK if that target just downloads the .tar.gz from github and doesn't rename it? -- Dmitry Shachnev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
