Re: root 5.28 debian packages

Hi Antonio and Fons,

May I ask why these packages are not pushed to the Debian repositories? If there are some obstacles in the way, we do have a Debian server at CERN for software packages that for some reason or another cannot go to the official Debian packages (an example being the slightly problematic licensing of CLHEP). Let me know if you would be interested in putting the debian files on the server (having them in an official Debian repo would be preferred I'd imagine).

Cheers,
Yngve
