Sorry. The correct bug number is #617931. Anton
2012/9/19 Anton Gladky <[email protected]>: > Dear release team, > > the license problem of GMSH is resolved [1], the upstream > kindly agreed to add a license exception. > > Please, consider adding this package (version 2.6.1.dfsg-4 in unstable) > into Wheezy. I understand, that is, probably, too late for adding "new" > packages, but it would be frustrating for many engineers and scientist > not to find this program in the future stable release. > > GMSH had no other blocking RC-bugs except of this license one. > > Thank you. > > Anton > > [1] http://bugs.debian.org/683445 > > > 2012/8/6 Cyril Brulebois <[email protected]>: >> Hello Anton. >> >> Anton Gladky <[email protected]> (31/07/2012): >>> Package: release.debian.org >>> Severity: normal >>> User: [email protected] >>> Usertags: unblock >>> >>> Please, consider including GMSH into Wheezy.
