Re: RFS: HexWalk Request for sponsor

Hi Samuel,

I didn't receive any response from you on my last mail. I added the 
debian material on github.

As for adding also to Salsa I don't have rights to register to your 
gitlab, anyway if it is enough I would proceed with github.

I keep waiting for your indications,

Thank you,


Carmix
