Hello,

apt-zip (0.13.2) unstable; urgency=low
* build dependence: replaced obsolete doocbook2man with the newer
The attached patch creates from a apt-zip-0.13.2 source package, a
source package for version 0.13.3 and fixes the problems listed.
I hope somebody will have the time to maintain this package (or at
least orphan it) as I have seen three other patches in BTS
I'm checking your patch.
Why you do such changes ?
-[ -z "$APTGETACTION" -a -z "$PACKAGES" ] &&
+[ -z "$APTGETACTION" -a -z "${PACKAGES}" ] &&
in methods/wget you did some changes:
- type instead of which
- <<-EOF instead of <<EOF
Why did you make such changes?
You should change methods/wget very carefully. This script should
run in a lot of different system, so I should be sure that solve a problem
and that it run in most of old unixes.
BTW you tested your patch outside Debian?
If you want to help maintaining the package, I will appreciate!
I've a lot of stuff to integrate to apt-zip (so that it can be usefull also
for testing and sid), but not yet integrated.
I've some problem maintainig the old interface but in the same time enhancing
a lot the capabilities of scripts. At the end I want a method that work also
on windows.
