  • dh-make updated to 0.52 and its remaining bugs

    I’ve made a quick release of dh-make, now up to 0.52.  Besides a minor dh_make.1 manual page fix this release will put the right value in the debian/source/format file.  0.51 will make it a native source package no matter what flags you use.

  • Happy new RC

    It’s the late afternoon of the first day of 2010 here, though I suppose its still 2009 for someone for a little while. After a lot of waiting, JFFNMS release candidate 1 for 0.8.5 got uploaded to sourceforge.  This release is mainly about fixing some database release bugs 0.8.4 had and they’re all caused by…
