I'll upload a package with executable and documentation in the next weeks. Best, Tobias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hi Bill, my reasoning was that the executable is rather useless without the documentation, which is non-free (pdf without the tex source). Of course I could provide the executable and point to the website for documentation. Would you find that more useful?

Source: ratpoints Version: 2.1.3+dfsg-2 Severity: important Hello Debian Science Team, The program ratpoints is not included in any of the binaries packages for ratpoints. Please provide it. The packages are rather useless without it.
