you're welcome. sorry for the long delay to find a bit of time to work on it...<br>
<br>
I just realised that you're a PLD guy!<br>
The interesting conclusion of this issue is that packagers and upstream
project (Debian term to indicate the source project) have to work more
closely to succeed and deliver easy to use and well integrated apps.<br>
This is the reason why I've created the NPS - NUT Packaging Standard
task:
(<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=41&group_id=30602&func=browse">https://alioth.debian.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=41&group_id=30602&func=browse</a>)<br>
<br>
Note that I've not yet launched the effort (still in spec stage), but
I'd like to know if you'd be interested in joining that effort?<br>
<br>
see you,<br>
