Released MakeNL v3.2.9

| No Comments

Version v3.2.9 of MakeNL has been released, and the source archives mn329src.zip and makenl-3.2.9.tar.gz have been made available on the Sourceforge site. (I synced what I had for 3.2.7e to the CVS repository and used that as the basis of the release.)

I will have at least the zip file on my system, and will also be working on a Debian package. I'll be updating the web site to reflect this. (Already corrected the link to the CVS repository.)

Debian and Quilt

| No Comments

A couple of write up I found, regarding converting a Debian package from using dpatch to using quilt:

Made the GIT repository of my Hardware Book package public by pushing it to Alioth.

  • git push --all alioth
  • git push --tags alioth

Started preparation of a new MakeNL release, v3.2.9, which is being taken from v3.2.7e. It is not being released as v3.2.8 because someone hatched out an entirely unofficial v3.2.8 archive so the consensus was to skip that version and go to v3.2.9 for the next official release.

I had created a debian package of v3.2.7e, with the source for that coming from the origianal cvs repository (before that repository went down and we had to move the project to Sourceforge). Still need to verify that the source in that package and the source we now have in the cvs repository as v3.2.7e (and becoming v3.2.9) is the same. (Not counting things like differences in the debian/ directory.)

Init HwB repo at Alioth

Initialized a GIT repository for HwB (Hardware Book) Debian packaging at Alioth, using [1] as a reference for doing so. Will push my local repository there after I finish cleaning the local one up.
