| Hei Jari,
|
| upstream for ocrad pointed out I want to close #602478[0].
| Reading the bug report I am not sure if the issue is
| resolved. The last activity on the bug seems to be a while
| back, do you consider the issue to still be open? If yes
| as the maintainer how can I help to get it resolved?
|
| PS: The latest stable versjon is not available yet in
| debian, I am waiting to find someone who can sponsor
| it[1].

FYI,
Regarding the Debian bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602478
Here is slightly more verbose description that would be nice
to get with --help option. I hope something like this would
be acceptable. The patch is against 0.24 found at:
http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/gnu/ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ocrad/
