Bug#613419: OpenWalnut (former FiberNavigator) Packaging
owner 613419 Sebastian Eichelbaum <eichelbaum@informatik.uni-leipzig.de>
thanks
Hi Sebastian,
Great to hear from you with such good news! Nobody said it must be
difficult and mind bending ;-) I am at HBM at the moment and a
bit busy so will reply in detail later (see above for ownership change
and it would be great to drop occasional updates to the bugreport on the
progress)
could you expose your packaging anywhere? (either under VCS or just a
url to .dsc would be fine)
is it lintian-free?
Cheers,
Yarik
