Re: ITR: gnome-phone-manager (updated package)
Hi Neil,
thanks for the review, I hope to find a sponsor because I think that
this package is useful and have waited for the dependencies with
eagerness. :)

fixed, I've removed the copyright information regarding the autotools
files. Every time I made a new package I'm in doubt for including or not
these informations. The debian/copyright is my nightmare... :)

I've checked the ubuntu package, there are two patches, one for
the .desktop file, I've seen that in the SVN version it's changed and
fixed, the other one regards the configuration process. The released 0.8
version checks for openobex-config that it's deprecated from openobex
version 1.1 but this one issue also it's fixed in SVN version.

I've checked in the changelog of the svn and I've seed that many of the
bugs reported in launchpad appears fixed in this revision.

Added.
