Re: Want to package FISH for Debian - is there any source for the documentation
Hi Todd,
thanks for you quick and helpful response. Yes, CC-BY 4.0 should be OK.
Meanwhile we digged a bit more into FISH and discussed some issues. You
might be interested in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2014/02/msg00178.html
May be the code is relying on some 32bit / old gcc features and does not
work any more as reliable as it should ...
Kind regards
Andreas.
