Re: Debian Packages

Hi Antonio,

The problems you mention below have been already noticed and fixed in CVS. Last week we discussed compilation of ROOT 4.04/02 Debian packages. They have been successfully compiled and are temporarily made available from:

        http://www.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/~gbrandt/root/non-free/

but should be made available from the official ROOT page soon (i hope Fons can update us on that one). They include fixes for the problems below by

• updating the changelog to reflect correct version number
• fixing rules to enable builtin_afterimage and disable_xrootd

Maybe we can agree on who provides these packages in the future to avoid duplication of effort next time?
I volunteered to do it, but i am happy to be relieved of the chore. I run Ubuntu which is not considered true Debian by some, while you work for PAIPIX if i understand correctly, which is Knoppix based and may also deviate from vanilla Debian.

Cheers,

Gerhard
