Re: Bug#777132: ITP: surf-alggeo -- tool to visualize some real algebraic geometry



Hi Jerome,

I assume you want to maintain this in the Debian Science team and thus
I'm forwarding the ITP to the according list.  Please name the Debian
Science tasks you would like to see the package in.

Thanks for the ITP

       Andreas.
