Hi,

Refreshed/New upload.

Your upload of the package 'rednotebook' to mentors.debian.net was
successful. Others can now see it. The URL of your package is:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/rednotebook

The respective dsc file can be found at:
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rednotebook/rednotebook_2.2-1.dsc


Changes since last upload:

* appdata_path_and_description.patch no longer executable.

* rednotebook/external/msgfmt.py from python and not locally edited so licensed
under upstream PSF-2 license. rednotebook author decision.

* rednotebook/external/txt2tags.py updated to latest upstream txt2tags version
via patch txt2tags_license_update.patch and in debian/copyright under GPL-2+.
File has been locally modified and appropriate change and copyright data appears
in file/patch and in debian/copyright.

Regards

Phil
