Hi,
Thanks, it is in the sourceforge cvs (it takes up to
24 hours to update the anonymous archives), feel free
to create a cvs branch in our svn and update the
trunk.
to use the cvs do:
cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/libhdate
co -P libhdate
Please create the debian directory in the svn, so we
can make debs from the svn. p.s package
libhdate-pascal need free pascal 2, and I did not find
that pakcage in sarge.
By, Kobi.
