well thank you for my introduction by example to Debian/Ubuntu package management. I am using 5.11 via checksintall - I know this is a far cry from a more formal diff and patches etc. but for personal use it works well.
I am interested in trying to work on packages in Ubuntu that I am interested in, like Maxima. I build the latest Maxima for myself when it comes out so the reason you have just mentioned is personally of little use. I thought that if I am doing this for myself I should try and be a part of Ubuntu/Debian and try and make a tiny contribution to a program I really like. I am not sure what it is you are trying to tell me? It seems that no help is needed here? -- Why not use 5.11 https://launchpad.net/bugs/92715 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
