Re: RFS: fizsh
Hi Michael,
I fixed the two remaining issues (added a patch for the man page, and
used dput to upload the original version of fizsh_1.0.2.orig.tar.gz).
The amended package and the original version have been uploaded as:
* http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fizsh/fizsh_1.0.2.orig.tar.gz
* http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fizsh/fizsh_1.0.2-1.debian.tar.gz
The package can be downloaded with the command: "dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fizsh/fizsh_1.0.2-1.dsc";
I hope the package is ready for uploading to Debian now.
Thank you very much for all your help!
Guido
