Bug#832150: xmacro adoption
Hello,
The first reason I do it is to help.
I have already done modification but no one integrated my RFS:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=848384
And now I think Andreas Beckman from QA as uploaded another version...
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=831195
I don't really understand, I am new to the process.
Regards,
Vincent Carluer
