Hi Georges and everyone else. I'm sorry that I left the discussion, I didn't see that it was moved to a different bug report (which I wasn't subscribed to). Sorry.

That's my repo, and I just patched in the pull request from Bas. But I guess it's kind of redundant now that you finished packaging rc1, but it may still be good to cross-check, in case you missed something. > It is uninstallable in Jessie and even in Stretch, due to the GCC-5 > transition. I'm a bit confused there. How is gcc-5 affecting uninstallation?

This is a bit of sad news, really, as the github plugin is very useful to quickly pull in external part libraries. Also makes it easy to share your footprints with others. Maybe a modification to use gnutls instead is possible? I'll post a request to Launchpad, if that makes sense to you. Georges, did you post your build scripts somewhere public so I can do a local test build and cross-examine?
