Hi Alois, thanks for caring about your software in distributions.

Debian is in freeze right now, so getting a new version into the next stable version is difficult, unless: - the change is small (which ususally rules out a new upstream release) - the bug is critical. > The bug was fixed in Oct 2009, and several new releases of octave-nan > have been made. That's strange. I uploaded 1.0.9 at the end of december and I'm reasonably sure that was the latest version I found at Sourceforge back then. Some information about 'watch' files: we use them to check upstream's pages automatically for updates. In the case of NaN, Sourceforge still lists 1.0.9 as the latest release. > I've uploaded a new release to Octave.sf.net: > http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/Individual%20Package%20Releases/NaN-2.0.4.tar.gz/download > which was not picked up by debian. > > > The latest release of Octave-NaN is always available from here: > http://biosig-consulting.com/matlab/NaN/ > http://biosig-consulting.com/matlab/NaN/nan-2.3.0.tar.gz > > > If there is anything I can do making it easier for debian to pick up the > latest release, please let me know. If the above is a canonical place for the NaN package, that suffices. However, right now an upload to Debian unstable (the normal development version of Debian) is not possible, sorry. I can upload it to Debian experimental, but Ubuntu will not pick this up (I think). Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
