Hi,
I will package the GNOME User's Guide, as I want to include it with
the GNOME update for slink. I will do the english version for now,
maybe later the other languages as well. But someone else is free to

The license is GPL, source is available at

I am going to orphan two packages - libcdaudio and libcdaudio-dev. The
"grip" package, which I maintain, does not use libcdaudio any more. Cdgrab

There is only one problem with those packages - the new upstream is
available, and James Tr

Since the last "official" release of rxvt is so old and out-of-date

Hi, all
looking into GNOME i got some (maybe stupid) idea:

Hi,
I'm going on vacation tomorrow until May 27. Going with a nice Python
tradition, my last action is an upload of a new revision of the Python
