tags 360920 patch thanks Hi, I found out that the tix-dev does not install the essential tix.h. This is extremly inconvenient, if you need tix. There is a bugreport about this that is almost 200 days old, without a response by the maintainer. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=360920 I'm not sure why this bug has severity 'normal'. A significant part of the package is pretty useless without the header. I fixed the bug and uploaded the NMU to mentors.d.n. Because this is already the third NMU in a row this message is send to debian-devel directly (maintainer is CC'ed). I'd be glad if someone could upload the package (I'm not a DD). I have to admit that the fix is not the most beautiful. However, it is fairly simple and should work. Please see the attached diff. And yes, the package is anything else than lintian clean! The package is here: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tix/tix_8.4.0-4.3.dsc or http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=tix Thanks in advance, Michael -- GPG key: 1024D/3144BE0F Michael Hanke http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de/hanke ICQ: 48230050
