Hi Frédéric,

thanks for your answer!

> it is true that asymptote is closely related toTex :).

Well then ..

> Now I packaged symptote 2.24, but I did not upload it due to problem. with this versionI can not produce my figures.

2.24 is broken, that is the reason I only went to 2.23 which 
I have packaged. Please try the packaged version or build from source.

> I amwondering if the problemis not a bad interraction with osmesa ?

I tried some 3d graphics and other graphics and all of them worked.

> Just a few remark do you plan to backport asymptote ?

No, I don't do backports.

> I yes I think that it would be better to stick with python-imaging instead of python-pil.

Not possible, as asymptote *expects* PIL already. Fom xasy2asy for
example:
	# PIL support is now mandatory due to rotations
	try:
	  from PIL import ImageTk
	  from PIL import Image
	except:
	   pass

Yes, the orig.tar that is checked into the .git in the debian-tex
git repo is the repackaged one.

THe reason for the repackaging is that otherwise
	git-buildpackage
cannot work, as the clean target removes the files and git-buildpackage
complains about it (Sure I can add --ignore-new etc, etc, but I don't
like that).

Ok, so I wait for the final ok from Hubert and then go forth.

Thanks a lot
