Ping? :) This upload would make the use of GForth much easier for Emacs users and much more pleasant for anyone who just happens to have emacs-common installed (no pesky errors at Emacs Lisp plugins rebuild time), as well as bring a new upstream version to Debian. As an added bonus, it removes a weird self-build-dependency that was introduced in the previous upload as the easiest, but strictly temporary, way to fix an upstream problem in a file that is not usually regenerated during the build, and thus this upload helps the Debian Bootstrap project :) > * Package name : gforth > Version : 0.7.2+dfsg1-1 > Upstream Author : Anton Ertl <anton@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at>, > Bernd Paysan <bernd.paysan@gmx.de> > * URL : http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/ > * License : GPL-3+ > Section : interpreters > > It builds three binary packages (tested with Lintian, pbuilder and > adequate): > > gforth - GNU Forth Language Environment > gforth-common - GNU Forth architecture-independent dictionaries > gforth-lib - GNU Forth Language Environment architecture-dependent files > > To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: > > http://mentors.debian.net/package/gforth > > Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: > > dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gforth/gforth_0.7.2+dfsg1-1.dsc > > Thanks in advance for your time in looking over the package!
