More information about the bomstrip distribution may be found on the author's site, http://www.xs4all.nl/~mechiel/projects/bomstrip/ What I intend to package is bomstrip-8 with a couple of my own changes as listed on the http://devel.ringlet.net/textproc/bomstrip/ webpage; most probably, the bomstrip-8-roam-06 version, if I don't come up with anything more in the meantime :) Of course, the changes have been sent to the upstream author, and if he decides to release a new version, I'll package it instead :) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
