The packaging in the SVN was ok for some old version of getfem but it was not updated since then. While waiting for it to get cleared, I packaged gmm standalone. > 3.

I am more than happy if you take over it, all the packages placed under pkg-kde/krap are build depends or depend of KDE that we (KDE team) need but we do not really want to maintain. I do not know if Xavier Bello is still interested in it, but he always can join you in the maintenance under the umbrella of the Scientific Computing Team. Ping me when you have getfem in the archive and i will ask for the removal of getmm. Ana -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
