New Debian ROOT (5.09/01) packages for i386 unstable

[Christian Holm Christensen <cholm@nbi.dk>]

Hi ROOT'ers, Debian-Scientists, et al, 

I'd like to inform you that I've uploaded new Debian ROOT packages of
ROOT version 5.09/01 for i386, unstable to 

  deb http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root unstable root 
  deb-src http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root unstable root 

Note, that there are a number of important changes in these packages:

      * Some `extensions' previously packaged as plug-ins are now split
        into 2 packages - a run-time library package, and a development
        package.   That should address the issue raised in
        http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2901. 
      * Can now use DFSG-Free fonts rather than the MS Core fonts. 
      * The CINT libraries and files are merged with libroot,
        libroot-dev, and root-bin. 

Note, that some of the changes to do this is not in ROOT's CVS, but a
patch has been sent to the ROOT developers. 

If anyone has the possibility and are willing to try to compile the
packages on non-i386 platforms, please do so.   If you succeed, we
(Brett and I) can put them in the repository.    If you fail, I'll like
to know about it.   Please send a build log. 

Yours,

--
