Hi Andreas, Thanks for the tips on SVN -- very helpful! When last I wrote, I had begun to think that you and I were working with one different assumption, and from what you just wrote, it is now confirmed. The package I have built is not a source package, it is a binary package. I have comp

Hi Andreas, Thanks for the offer of the help! It makes me feel much better. As I mentioned, packaging is fairly new to me, but I have a great deal of knowledge of GT.M including developing in MUMPS and also configuring GT.M (e.g., setting up global directories, configuring dual-logical site
