Need experienced perl module maintainer for a second pair of eyes on my package

2001-10-04 Thread Marc Haber
Hi, I don't have any experience with perl module packages, and I usually work under potato which has a quite different perl policy. I'd appreciate if anybody who knows how to build perl packages on sid would take a look at my libnet-ipnetmember-perl package from http://q.bofh.de/~mh/debian/libnet-

Hi! I'm trying to create a package for RCF (a firewall) to be built from a CVS tree and I'd like to somehow 'retrieve' the version and revision from the root Makefile (which is already used to create the .deb file...) I tried using the '-v' switch of dpkg-buildpackage to do it, but I think I

why evolution is not installable ?

2001-10-04 Thread christophe barbé
I should have missed something because I can't understand why evolution is not installable. I'm looking for the general reason behind this and not in the evolution case. Last week a new version of evolution was released in SID. Then installing it was not possible due to "not installable" packages.
