And as stated on its web page it seems to be just a portability fork of NetBSD's pmake, so it might make more sense to ask the Debian pmake maintainer (CCed) if he is interested in switching to that version instead of uploading yet another pmake implementation? > Bmake has a active upstream. Well the pmake Debian package has the same upstream as bmake, so that by itself does not seem to be an advantage over the others. :) regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
