Cool. I really do hope it's possible to bring the work into the universe quickly. I emailed with the project lead (João Pinto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) and he informed me that he felt that bringing the packages into compliance with Ubuntu/Debian policies would take more time than he felt he could personally afford. He did mention that he's planning to provide debdiffs for those interested in MOTUing his packages. > -- > - mdz > -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
