New Debian ROOT (5.09/01) packages for i386 unstable

Hi ROOT'ers, Debian-Scientists, et al,

I'd like to inform you that I've uploaded new Debian ROOT packages of ROOT version 5.09/01 for i386, unstable to

  deb http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root unstable root   deb-src http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root unstable root

Note, that there are a number of important changes in these packages:

• Some `extensions' previously packaged as plug-ins are now split into 2 packages - a run-time library package, and a development package. That should address the issue raised in http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2901.
• Can now use DFSG-Free fonts rather than the MS Core fonts.
• The CINT libraries and files are merged with libroot, libroot-dev, and root-bin.

Note, that some of the changes to do this is not in ROOT's CVS, but a patch has been sent to the ROOT developers.

If anyone has the possibility and are willing to try to compile the packages on non-i386 platforms, please do so. If you succeed, we (Brett and I) can put them in the repository. If you fail, I'll like to know about it. Please send a build log.

Yours,

--
