 Due to reasons that I prefer not to discuss on a public mailing list, I
 haven't worked on my packages for the last few months.

 The last time I was working on an updated gerris package I had several
 problems, mostly related to compiler changes in unstable.  I just took
 a look at it, and it's still not compiling.

 If you have managed to compile a package for the newer versions, I will
 really appreciate a patch, if there's one.

 If you are willing to take over the package I'll be happy with that.
 Please drop me a note off-list letting me know that.

 Thanks,
