2001-03-16 Thread Adam C Powell IV
Greetings, I just uploaded the latest version of my package, petsc. And got back notices about an NMU. The only thing I did differently was to upload i386 binaries, I usually upload powerpc. The maintainer consistently listed in debian/changes is Adam C. Powell, IV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
