I'm uploading 6.2-2 to http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/opencascade/ . I consider this a "beta test" before uploading -3 to NEW, so please look it over and try it out! The copyright and README.Debian.html files should be complete now. My last to-do before -3 will be to add "-release" flags to LDFLAGS in Makefile.?m to do library versioning, which will get rid of the biggest remaining lintian warning. (After that, only missing man pages remain.) I also want to split the package using Jason Kraftcheck's scripts, but won't have time for a while; perhaps it'll get done by the time Debian rejects this version. :-) Big thanks to Denis Barbier for the old copyright file, and to him and Aurélien Jarno for actually doing the audit! We just may see OpenCASCADE in lenny... Cheers, -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
