Since I am not a Debian developer (and had given up trying to get my key signed), Andreas Tille had offered to upload my package once it was satisfactory. We were waiting for upstream to reply about some issues regarding filesystem locations of things, but since they haven't replied in a long time and a new package is badly needed, I thought it was a good idea to go ahead and upload a new package even if it isn't perfect. Nobody replied to the thread in quite a while, so I assumed the discussion was dead. I guess I'll revive it, but at the moment I am quite busy with other things. In the meantime, if you are interested in this package, can you look over the package currently on mentors and tell me if you see any problems with it that would prevent an upload or cause upgrades from older versions to break? I have received no feedback about it, so I have no idea if it even works for anyone besides myself. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
