Hmm, from a first glance it doesn't seem so. Mostly the changes are updates to tclconfig, and there's a change you probably should discuss as I'm not sure it's not breaking the reverse dependencies (including those outside Debian): https://github.com/wjoye/tclxml/commit/d5e1189ddcc1c92df8c1d56011c3ca1f555e537c > Other changes I am going to do: > > * put under team maintenance (Tcl/Tk team) > * convert the packaging to git and git-buildpackage > * update debian/files to latest standards (d/copyright & Co.) That'd be good, thanks! -- Cheers, Andrew
