I doubt that backports of GNUstep packages are feasible (because of the library transitions). Backporting gnustep-make, in particular, will make gnustep-dl2 FTBFS and some packages will end up shipping no documentation. > Short description, the "for GNUstep" seems misplaced.

No. As some other GNUstep packages, this one is based on a very old and unmaintained upstream release. There's a wishlist bug to update it to the current upstream version. I've made some progress on that front but I'm unlikely to complete the porting work in time for jessie. I marked all patches as "Forwarded: not-needed". > Clean fails for me in my normal environment. Again, I'd kindly ask you for some more information. "fakeroot debian/rules clean" is supposed to fail if the build-dependencies are not installed as GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES will be undefined in that case. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
