Hi
So what is the best way forward?
I have no problems with Michael's upload (thanks!) apart from the delay.
Paul and I were just considering adding the line:
Recommends: xfonts-100dpi | xfonts-75dpi | xfonts-100dpi-transcoded |
xfonts-75dpi-transcoded
to libxm4 in motif (see LP: #1415309). I haven't decided yet if it's
better to go in libxm4 or nedit.
Regards
Graham
