Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1:5.6~cvs20081118-1
of my package "nedit" which I am adopting. Because upstream is slowly
working to a maintenance release, I decided to prepare an experimental
package using a cvs checkout of the beta of 5.6. I would appreciate it
when somebody takes the time to check out my packaging efforts (this is
my second debian package). I left out the create-orig rule in rules
because I want to package for unstable when the release is really
released. Please let me know when I need to include it to get it
sponsored for experimental. Also let me know if I chose the wrong name
for this version.
It builds these binary packages:
nedit - powerful, customizable, Motif based text editor
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 499316
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/nedit
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
