Bug#402589: mzscheme debian packages
i guess i'll just have to give it a try then.
At the moment I refreshed the patches, removed a couple of obsolete
ones and made it buildable. I can build and install the binary
packages, but I get tons of messages from lintian and dpkg-shlibdeps
some of which make no sense to me. But I get the same messages when
building 360, so may be it's something wrong with my sid chroot.
what's the best way to let you have a look at the state I'm at? I
could make svn diff of the ./debian directory and direct you to the
original tarball... Or just send you the drscheme_371-1_i386.build
file ?
