I suggest that you contact him and ask him whether abinit maintenance should be done in debichem.

I have an extremely busy life and following the various discussions is close to impossible. At best I can read some of the emails and sometimes answer or give a quick heads up like now. At the moment I concentrate mainly on getting some important (at least to me ) packages done. I hope to find some time in August to get up to date as to Debian science and the various things being done there. After that I will try to think about what could be done between Debian Science and pkg-scicomp and the possible actions to take (for example merge pkg-scicomp into Debian Science) Best regards C. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
