I think that "treeplot" is outdated.

Yes you can replace "treeplot" with "populations". I would be pleased if "populations" became a Debian package. I can support the preparation of a package, no problem, and if I have enough time to get a better skill in the art of packaging softwares for debian, I will try to make it (it might be long ;-)). > >> Thank you for your interest in "treeplot" and for your great job in the >> Debian project. > > Thanks :) and thanks every one working on Debian Med ;-) Olivier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
