Bug#712118: marked as done (RFS: splix/2.0.0+svn308-1)
reopen 712118
thank you
Hi Didier and Till,
I'm reopening the RFS bug for splix.
I've uploaded a new version of splix that merges the last upstream changes
(mainly dropping patches that have been accepted upstream), sets the
maintainer as the Debian Printing Team and moves the packaging to a
git workflow.
You can find the dsc at
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/splix/splix_2.0.0+svn315-1.dsc
If you are too busy I can ask my usual sponsor if he is available to upload it,
but I think moving the package under the Debian Printing Team umbrella should
be done by a member.
Also, not being a DD I can not upload my local git repo on Alioth; it would be
nice if someone from the team could create it for me and add me to the project.
Cheers,
Luca
