It doesn't matter what the source package says anyway. In order to get s390 to stop building it, you need to get it added to Packages-arch-specific. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using 'Architecture: [!s390]' accomplishes some things: * no accidental (manual?) build on s390. * the autobuilders will not *successfully* build it. (The buildlog will say something like 's390 not in list of supported archs') * it serves for documentation.

I can't find any reference to it in the archive, unless I'm missing something obvious, so I don't think it ever actually made it into Debian.

At first it appeared that it was non-free[1], but after some digging around I discovered it's just fine[2]. Now, the odd part is that the tarball came with some debian stuff already in it, so it looks like somebody tried to package this about two years ago. (I saw a thread on an l.d.o list about it because of the legal issues mentioned in [1], but I can't remember where and I can't find it again.) I can't find any reference to it in the archive, unless I'm missing something obvious, so I don't think it ever actually made it into Debian. It was pretty old (Standards 3.2.1), and it split a 3 meg package into about 7 or 8 subpackages, which strikes me as a little silly, so I snagged the man pages and wrote the rest of the debian/ tree from scratch. ITP is at [3], and packages are available on m.d.n[4][5]. Copyright file is at [6] if you want to glance at what I wrote for it without downloading first. Comments are welcome, and thanks in advance. :) [0] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/06/msg00136.html [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/06/msg00482.html [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/06/msg00488.html [3] http://bugs.debian.org/255572 [4] http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cc65/ [5] http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cc65-common/ [6] http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~cutler/debian/cc65.copyright -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

RFS: rlplot -- generate publication quality graphs
Changes have now been made... still looking for a sponsor.. I am looking for a sponsor for rlplot, a GUI based program to generate quality scientific graphs. It adds several features which are not readily available with other plotting packages like gnuplot such as good support for bar charts with error bars. I have uploaded the packages to http://www.jmstone.dsl.pipex.com/rlplot Any comments welcomed. James Stone -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
