Oh, yes. Sorry. I am not sure what exactly you want here; this is however the collection of information you can somehow compile-in: * The users page for the source package is https://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/plplot with links to all binary packages * There is a page with developers information about the package: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/plplot * The development repository is https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/plplot.git * The source code of the released packages can also be found at https://sources.debian.net/src/plplot/unstable/ * plplot will be maintained collaboratively by the debian-science team, so packaging specific discussion shall go to debian-scie...@lists.debian.org We are happy about volunteers wanting to help us, send patches or join the mainenance team. * Debian specific bugs shall be files with the "reportbug" tool in the Debian bug database > The PLplot nn and csa library licensing topic: > > See my recent post concerning this issue.

Yea!!! That was great! And I thank you very much for your efforts and collaboration!

I already integrated the 5.12.0 sources (see the git repository link above), but I will wait with a release until 5.13.0 is out, due to the licensing issue. And I still need to fine-tune everything and to see which Debian specific patches are still needed and forward them to you if useful. You have have a look on your own in the debian/patches subdir: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/plplot.git/tree/debian/patches Thank you again for the nice and effective cooperation! I am happy that plplot has such great authors!
