About what I thought, dch worked, but would have preferred gedit or leafpad.

Expected, but looking like will also have to backport debhelper, libtiff5 and libtiffxx5 first, and anything else it needs. I did find the changes that are due to ripple through with the update from 9.7 to 9.8, and none of those are listed. I notice that noscript will be dropped as no longer compatible with the new firefox esr. I do not like that. > BTW, the file glob pattern matches only the packages you just built, just in > case there are other .deb packages in the same dir. Thank you for the reminder, is as I would expect. > craig Regards, Mark Trickett _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
