| | If yes, please follow the workflow we have defined here:

| |
| | You can also opt-out from receiving future similar emails in your

I managed to build a full set of the Debian stable version 3.1.1 plus two
small and minimal patches.
See here for all files:

I am still awaiting feedback on this and haven't uploaded any to Debian yet.
