Hi,
I understand your objection; however I would rather have now the
package, mainly because code aster has its own build system, and it may
be not trivial to find out the issue; and I'd prefer to have a buggy
package rather than noting, as it is now.
Moreover, the RFP/ITP has started in january 2008, now it's june 2011
and we're still here... I think that it would be better to finalize the
effort now that we're very close and then enhance the package, rather
than postpone the upload to fix all the problems.
This however is just my VH opinion, I'll follow the directions of people
that knows the debian packaging process much more than me.
Bye
Andrea
