RFS: cgal (updated package)
Dear mentors, usually Steve M. Robbins sponsors this package, but he is probably busy right now, so I am looking for another sponsor for the new version 3.3-1 of my package cgal. It builds these binary packages: libcgal-demo - C++ library for computational geometry (demos) libcgal-dev - C++ library for computational geometry (development files) libcgal2 - C++ library for computational geometry The package is lintian and linda clean and builds fine with pbuilder. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/c/cgal - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/c/cgal/cgal_3.3-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. BTW I will on vacation starting Thursday, so I won't be able to answer mails for some time (but I don't expect any problems with the package).

In many cases these tarballs are quite small, and I don't see much added value in repackaging those to .gz. Yes, but if the point is to avoid repackaging, then what is to be done about the projects like gcc and OOo, which release *only* in bzip2 compressed form? I think that the current policy of gzip-only provides the best possible balance between space and CPU/memory resources and also provides a nice bit of uniformity. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.

Need some help with watch files again
Hi, I'm again stuck with a debian/watch file. In this special case I try to write watch files for garlic and garlic-doc. The sources can be found at: http://garlic.mefos.hr/sources/ So I tried the following: version=3 http://garlic.mefos.hr/sources/garlic-([\d\.]+)/garlic-([\d\.]+).tar.gz But this doesn't work. The debug output of uscan doesn't help very much. Where is the issue? Can someone help? Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
