Re: RFS: snake4 (updated package)
Dear Mentors and hi Niels,
I did everything as requested in the mail below. I hope I took the bug
in the right way - otherwise please tell me. I additionally checked the
package using pbuilder against sid and squeeze and it's now lintian
clean. mentors.debian.org is telling me so, too.
So what do I need to do next?
Kind regards
Michael Boegl
