Re: RFS: Upload of updated NLP software stack (CLST, Radboud University Nijmegen)
Hi Mattia et al,
Do you or someone else happen to have some time to help with this still? Specifically
the migration from cdbs to debhelper..? Then I can fix the rest of the
various packages I prepared and hopefully get it all uploaded soonish.
I got set up on salsa in the mean time. I suppose it's best we change
all Vcs-Browser and Vcs-git links to point to there explicitly instead
of anonscm.debian.org?
Regards,
