I did build a gdl-0.9.0pre package for amd64, I also have the source for pre2 there, but no packages, not sure why, maybe it did not build. The packaging itself was very straightforward, I just used dh_make. For a releaseworthy package, some more work would have to be done. I just built it for myself to see if it actually works, and it does start, I tried some simple commands. But since I don't use IDL myself, I didn't really know what to do with it. Maybe this package could also be handled via the debian-science svn? Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
