the package is now in a state that i'd consider ready for upload to debian. the latest changes were: * upstream released a 2011.12 version, and nowadays includes a test suite. i've split the test suite programs out into an own package (openscad-testing) and its data too (openscad-testing-data). the test suite gets run in the dh_test phase unless configured otherwise using DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck, and the results get shipped in openscad-testing-data too for comparison. i wrote a little helper script openscad-testrun, shipped in openscad-testing, that assembles the test suite and runs it. (it was originally just intended to be run from the build dir, which is impractical for debian.) * a package containing debug symbols is now generated (openscad-dbg). * the whole license mess with QPL is about to resolve as the new CGAL library is released under GPL-3+ (among others). that doesn't affect the package's categorization to contrib yet (until the new cgal gets into debian main), but the re-licensing allows a particular file that previously caused much headache[1], OGL_helper.h, to be shipped without trouble. apart from that single file that was made ok for inclusion by the relicensing, the other issues have been resolved, and the license seems to be valid as GPL-2+ with CGAL exception. * patches were dropped in collaboration with upstream (build system got more flexible) the package is now lintian clean. a current copy is uploaded to mentors[2] and can be fetched by dget from [3].
