Hi,
Well. I'm lost now. Upstream has accepted and merged my pull request,
but forgot to update the tag. I asked to fix this, but that was the
third request in a short period and I'm afraid it was too much to ask
for even though I really did my best to be polite which is a lot of
effort for someone from the Netherlands I can tell. :-)
So now I'm stuck, either I leave the patches and the watch on the tag or
release, or I ignore the tag and use the latest commit. Since the
patches on the tag result in an identical upstream as the latest commit,
I would say we should keep the package as it is and track the tag.
Like I said, chances this package will ever be updated upstream is very low.
Any thoughts?
regards, -maarten

To talk to upstream is always a good idea.
I just submitted a pull request @github. We'll see what comes out of
that.
But in any case, this is an extremely simple library re-implementing
an algorithm originally written in FORTRAN whose original inventor
died several years ago. Chances there will ever be an update are
exactly null, if you'd ask me.
But hey, I see this as an educational exercise.
