OK, Debian has 2.0.1 (but there is a bug in the packaging I think). I've filed a sync request for 2.0.1-1 with Ubuntu (-1 is the Debian package version), and I'm filing a bug report with a suggestion for an -2 package. My delta uses our provided icon installing, rather than Debian's package trying to do it, and also patches the .desktop file to remove the "Education" category - in favour of pulling in my new "extra-xdg-menus" package, which provides an "Electronics" menu. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
